Photo of the Week
This Monday, Oct. 7th, we collectively, as a Jewish community, commemorated the terrorist attack on Israel through a memorial at the JCC and B'nei Yehuda. Singing Acheinu and Hatikva, reciting powerful speeches, and congregating as one, we show our commitment and support to our people and land. The Jewish Federation of Greater Kansas City honored the hostages by writing their names on stones, displaying how they’ll never be forgotten. Bring them back now. HBHA stands with Israel.
