October 7 Commemoration

On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists carried out the deadliest attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust, murdering 1,200, kidnapping hundreds from over a dozen nations, and leaving hostages still held in Gaza today.

730 days have passed, but the pain and loss remain ever present. The attack was not only on Israel or the Jewish people—it was an attack on humanity.

Two years later, we continue to grieve, to honor the lives lost, and to demand the safe return of the hostages. At the same time, we stand resilient, united in memory and in our shared commitment to a future of strength and hope.

We invite the entire Atlanta community—of all faiths and backgrounds—to join us in commemoration of October 7. Together, we remember. Together, we heal. Together, we stand as one.

Registration is available through our partners at the American Jewish Committee.

Hostages Still in Gaza

More than 22 months after Hamas’ massacre of Israelis on October 7, 2023, Palestinian terror groups are still holding 48 men and women—including two Americans—captive in Gaza.

Federation and all of its community partners are raising awareness and advocating on behalf of the hostages and their families, working tirelessly to bring them home.
