One-Year Anniversary of October 7th

Last night, the Contra Costa community gathered for an evening of remembrance, hope, and resilience to mark the one-year anniversary of the October 7 massacre attack on Israel. We appreciate everyone who joined us to honor the victims and the fallen soldiers and reflect on their legacy. We would also like to express our heartfelt gratitude to our community partners for their participation and to Temple Isaiah for graciously hosting this important evening.

Each of us is connected to this tragedy—whether we personally knew someone who was murdered or kidnapped on that day, or we know someone who does. Our solidarity with the people of Israel serves as a powerful reminder of our shared strength.

As we continue to navigate these challenging times, our thoughts remain with the victims, the hostages, and the brave soldiers defending Israel.  We are committed to fostering an environment where everyone feels welcomed and supported as we work through our pain, resilience, and shared hope.

To support Israel, we have compiled a list of organizations where you can donate. Click on the images below to access each organization’s donation page:

May we continue to foster this unity as we pursue healing and a more hopeful future together!
