We did not imagine then, a year ago, how painful and stinging the blow of bereavement would be As we have not experienced for a long time, the war that broke out on Saturday, October 7, brought the endless grief to the homes of thousands of other families, including families from our city whose sons and daughters were brutally murdered by terrorists from terrorist organizations and who fell in the face of great grief , in the face of the pain that has no limit and while we are full of hope for the release of 132 abductees who are still in captivity, we are willing to fight for our dear country, we understand the importance of unity among us. We must all do everything to be worthy, as individuals, as a community, as a country The heaviest of all that the girls and boys paid, for the price paid by the bereaved families and may we be worthy of the magnitude of their sacrifice. May the memory of the murdered and the fallen be blessed and besieged in our hearts forever.”
