  • A 'human charging station' will open in Kiryat Ekron on October 7, 2026.
  • The space offers emotional support and community connection.
  • It is intended for the national day of remembrance for October 7th.
  • The initiative is led by the local council's education and psychological services.
  • Residents are invited to share, connect, or simply be present.

Ahead of the national day of remembrance for the October 7th events, a "human charging station" will be set up in Kiryat Ekron on Wednesday, October 7, 2026. This initiative is designed as an open community space for residents to pause, converse, share emotions, and offer mutual support. Recognizing the day's emotional weight, the project aims to provide personal, comforting support alongside official ceremonies. It is led by the psychological-educational service and the education department of the Kiryat Ekron Local Council. The space will allow passersby to take a break from their day, have a drink of water, sit and talk, leave messages of strength and hope for others, or take comforting words left by someone else. The station will operate on Wednesday between 10:30 AM and 12:30 PM on Herzl Street, near the "Shibolet" bakery. The local council invites all residents to attend, take a short break, share, or simply be together in mutual solidarity and shared bearing of grief.
