On October 7th, 2023 1,195 innocent people were killed in Israel. Since then, innocent life has continued to be tragically lost to this painful conflict. Today, the Jewish Law Student Association commemorates the lives that were lost on October 7th, including those of 8 Jewish-Canadians: Ben Mizrahi, Vivian Silver, Judih Weinstein Haggai, Adi Vital-Kaploun, Alexandre Look, Neta Epstein, Shir Georgy and Tiferet Lapidot. May their memories be a blessing.
We invite anyone on the McGill campus who is experiencing some kind of grief or loss as a result of the on-going Middle Eastern conflict or otherwise to join our commemorative efforts.
The Jewish religion holds the sanctity of all life as a core value. Hopefully, the world can one day live up to this ideal, but until then we can look to each other for comfort and compassion.
