(Doors open at 5:30pm for “WALK of REMEMBRANCE.”)

The events of October 7, 2023 marked a day of unspeakable tragedy for Israel and the Jewish community worldwide.

  • Mothers without sons.

  • Fathers without daughters.

  • Families completely erased.

We feel this loss deeply, compounded by the ongoing rise in antisemitism. This night of remembrance is a call for community solidarity and resilience.

The Location

This event is being conducted at Immanuel Baptist Church Tates Creek campus.

3100 Tates Creek Rd, Lexington, KY 40502

 

WHY THIS MATTERS

Hamas launched a devastating terror assault on Israel, resulting in the tragic deaths of over 1,200 Israelis and taking hostage more than 250 individuals - marking one of the most severe acts of evil aggression against the Jewish people since the Holocaust.

Currently, the whereabouts of more than 100 hostages, including the remains of those who died during their captivity, remain uncertain.

We can’t forget. We won’t forget.
