A national memorial ceremony honoring victims of the October 7th 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 and will be hosted by Hamas hostage survivor Eli Sharabi and actress Shani Cohen.
Additional artists scheduled to perform include Gali Atari, Ivri Lider, Eden Golan, Amir Daddoun, Arkadi Duchin, and Nunu, among many others. Registration for tickets opened to the general public on September 26th.
The ceremony, initiated by families of those affected by the October 7th events, aims to be a unifying and hopeful national event that gives voice to all segments of society impacted by the attacks. It will be broadcast live on major Israeli television channels and through community screenings worldwide.
A crowdfunding campaign to fund the ceremony has raised over three million shekels, with organizers seeking to reach a goal of 4.5 million shekels to accommodate a large open-park format allowing tens of thousands of Israelis to attend. The families are also launching a national remembrance campaign titled "Israel Does Not Forget" to share stories and memories 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. It is our moral and existential duty to continue commemorating our loved ones." He urged continued public support for the crowdfunding campaign to make it the largest memorial event in the country's history.
