The entire community is invited to join together for a powerful and meaningful morning at Take a Walk for October 7th: Together in Memory, United in Strength, on Sunday, October 5, 9 a.m., at Carlin Park in Jupiter. Led by the Heroes for Israel Project, the one-mile walk and event will honor the memory of the victims and heroes of the October 7 terror attacks in Israel, a day that forever changed Israel and the Jewish people. The event is sponsored by Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County as well as other community businesses and organizations.
The aim of the event is to bring together all ages, faiths and backgrounds to stand together and demonstrate unity, remembrance, and resilience. Following the community walk, the event will feature a memorial tribute, music, and poignant messages from local leaders, underscoring a shared commitment to never forget, to stand against terror, and to support those still grieving and rebuilding. The morning will also feature food available for purchase as well as community vendors.
Melissa Berenson of the Heroes for Israel Project shared: “Our goal is simple: We walk to say we remember. We walk to say we are still here. And we walk to say we will never be silent in the face of terror. Let this walk be a living tribute, a reminder that love is stronger than hate, and that we are united in strength.”
Registration for the event is $18 per person. Those interested can also create a team and set a fundraising goal, with 100 percent of funds raised to expand safety and security in areas most impacted by the terrorist attacks, provide life-saving equipment for civilian responders in Israel, and provide ongoing support for survivors, soldiers, and families affected by the October 7 terror attacks.
