In the heart of the wounded Gaza envelope, Kibbutz Sufa will host a moving and extraordinary event on Tuesday, August 13, 2024. At 6:00 PM, as the sun begins to set, the kibbutz residents will gather in the local synagogue for an emotional journey between past and present, between pain and hope.
On Tisha B'Av, the national day of mourning, community members will read the Book of Lamentations. But this year, the reading will take on a deeper and more personal meaning than ever before. Alongside the ancient verses of lamentation, the voices of the Gaza envelope residents will be heard, telling their personal stories from the terrible tragedy of Simchat Torah, October 7, 2023.
Rabbis, artists, soldiers, and kibbutz members will unite to weave together a touching tapestry of memories, pain, and hope for the future. "This is not just an event of mourning," says one of the organizers, "but also of connection, of shared healing. We invite everyone to be part of this special moment."
The event expresses the strength of the Gaza envelope community - the ability to cope with the deepest pain, and yet find comfort in each other and hope for better days.
For anyone who feels the pain of the country, for anyone seeking meaning in these difficult times - this event is a small light in the darkness, a reminder of the power of unity and the strength of the human spirit. Don't miss it.
