It is with a heavy heart that the International March of the Living is witnessing the unbearable carnage unleashed on the citizens of Israel.

Fifty years ago on the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, we were awakened in October to the news from Israel of the beginning of the Yom Kippur War.

Yesterday on the happiest day of the Jewish calendar – Simchat Torah – we were awakened in October to the news of the brutal assault on women, men and children and the beginning of war by Hamas terrorists on Israel and her People.

Today, tomorrow and every day, we pray for the safety and security of All Israel.

We know that you join us in our condemnation of this massacre.

Am Yisrael Chai v’Kayam
