October 7th Bearing Witness Trip

Sderot Police Station

Visit the Sderot Police Station Memorial Site, a poignant tribute to the approximately 30 police officers who tragically lost their lives while bravely defending the city on October 7th. This memorial honors their sacrifice and the deep resilience of the Sderot community, which has long been on the frontlines of conflict. Situated in the heart of the city, the site serves as a place of reflection and remembrance, reminding visitors of the courage and dedication of those who gave everything to protect their home. The Sderot Police Station Memorial is a powerful symbol of both loss and the enduring hope for peace and security in this challenging region.

Car Wall Memorial

Visit the Car Cemetery Memorial, a deeply moving tribute to the personal stories and lives forever changed by the largest terrorist attack in the history of the State of Israel on October 7th. Over 800 cars, once symbols of daily life and family journeys, now rest in silence—each vehicle carrying its own story of survival, tragedy, and heroism. Some belonged to families fleeing for safety, others to first responders rushing into danger. As you walk among the charred remains, you’ll connect with the individual stories of those who lived through the unimaginable, reminding us of the resilience and strength of the human spirit even in the face of terror.

Shuva Brothers Tent

After being miraculously saved from the clutches of Hamas, Kobi Trabelsi and his brothers Eliran and Dror mobilized to help the overwhelming number of wounded brought to a makeshift field hospital at Moshav Shuva. What started as a simple coffee stand at the Shuva intersection has since grown into a vital support hub for soldiers near the Gaza border. The Shuva Brothers Tent now offers free essentials—hot meals, water, clothing, and toiletries—around the clock, all run exclusively through donations and volunteers. Once marked by tragedy, this site now stands as a powerful symbol of hope and unity, supporting thousands of soldiers each day.

Site of the Nova

We will finish our day at the site of the Nova Massacre, where over 364 lives were brutally taken and dozens more were kidnapped in the deadliest attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust. This tragic event brings together the diverse mosaic of Israeli society—Jews from all walks of life, religious and secular, young and old—bound by their shared identity and fate. Here, we ill pay homage to the brotherhood of the Jewish nation, remembering the horrific brutality of that day while honoring the unity and resilience that continues to define the people of Israel. It’s a place of reflection, remembrance, and a powerful reminder of the strength found in solidarity.

Visit a Kibbutz or Affected Site

We hope to visit one of the kibbutzim affected by the tragic events of October 7th, though due to the sensitive nature of the mourning and rebuilding process, entry may be limited. If we are able to enter, we will have the opportunity to meet with a survivor who will share their personal story of resilience, loss, and the ongoing efforts to heal and rebuild. This visit offers a powerful glimpse into the strength of Israel’s kibbutz communities during this difficult time.
