A national memorial ceremony honoring victims of the October 7th Hamas attacks will feature performances by prominent Israeli artists including Shlomo Artzi, Miri Mesika, and Ohad Cohen. The event, now in its third year, will take place on October 7th at Tel Aviv's Yarkon Park. It is organized by families of those killed and survivors of the Hamas attacks, and will be hosted by Hamas hostage survivor Eli Sharabi and actress Shani Cohen.
Additional artists slated to perform include Gali Atari, Ivri Lider, Eden Golan, Amir Dadon, Arkadi Duchin, and Nunu, among many others. Registration for tickets opened to the general public on September 26th.
The ceremony aims to be a unifying, hopeful, and state-level event that gives voice to all segments of society and communities affected by the "disaster," according to organizers. It will be broadcast live on major Israeli television channels, foreign broadcasters, and community screenings worldwide.
A crowdfunding campaign to fund the ceremony has raised over three million shekels, with a goal of 4.5 million shekels to allow for a large-scale open-park event enabling tens of thousands of Israelis to attend. The families are urging public support to reach this goal, emphasizing that the event is entirely publicly funded.
Alongside the ceremony preparations, a national "Israel Does Not Forget" remembrance campaign is launching, aiming to re-present sights, sounds, and stories from October 7th. Yonatan Shamriz, founder of the "Komo" movement responsible for the ceremony and brother of fallen soldier Alon Shamriz, stated, "This year's ceremony will be a difficult and painful event, but we must not forget the massacre we endured, we must not let the memory fade. It is our moral and existential duty to continue commemorating the loved ones we lost." He urged continued public support for the crowdfunding to make it the largest memorial event in the country's history.
