Related: About this forumOn the Friday night following October 7th, I lit a Yahrzeit candle.
I have lit a Yahrzeit candle every Friday night since for those who are being held hostage by Hamas. It hurts my heart that I am still lighting these candles after four months. It seems as if it is only getting more hopeless and more sad.

It becomes more and more important as news cycles begin to forget and the narrative turns more and more against Israel, even at the highest levels of the government.
