A Global Moment of Silence
2024-10-07 10:10 - 10:11 | Calgary JCC, 1607 90 Avenue SW, Calgary, AB, T2V 4V7, Canada
In these challenging times, it’s crucial for the global Jewish community to unite in sorrow and solidarity. We invite you, our JCC family to join with us — and encourage others to do the same — in A GLOBAL MOMENT OF SILENCE on Monday, October 7 at 10:10am MDT, as JCCs across North America and Jewish organizations worldwide pause in reflection.
This day honours those we have lost, stands with those still in captivity, and reflects the resilience of the Jewish People and supportive allies. Together, our shared silence will send a powerful message of unity and strength to the world.
Please note that there will be an increased police presence in and around the JCC on October 7. This is part of an ongoing effort to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone in the community. Thank you to our District 6 CPS partners.
