The Yad Ezrah La'Chaver association will host a special memorial ceremony in Haifa to honor the victims of the October 7th attacks and fallen soldiers in the ongoing war.

Attendees will include bereaved families, survivors, and combatants.
A photography exhibition will also be presented, focusing on the physical and psychological wounds sustained by combatants. The exhibition seeks to raise awareness about the long-term struggles faced by those affected by the war and the necessity of continued support long after the fighting ceases.

Following the ceremony, attendees will be invited to tour the October 7th Museum, which chronicles the personal stories of the victims and fallen, and the association's Holocaust Museum. This combined tour is designed to connect two significant chapters in Jewish and Israeli memory. The event and museum are open to the public free of charge at 6 Kessel Street in Haifa.
