Photos of the UAlbany Hillel Living Memorial on October 7 created to remember those killed, injured by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023 and those still held hostage…
ALBANY– The University at Albany Hillel, working with the campus Shabbos House, recently built a living memorial to honor those killed or kidnaped on October 7. The display was located all around the small fountain, outside of the campus center.
Biographies and pictures of those who were killed were displayed. Each table had information or an activity so that all students could participate in honoring the life and passions of the victims. Many stations were interactive and allowed participating students to take something with them as a reminder of the atrocities of October 7 and as a symbol of hope for the future.
In the evening students were brought together at a community-wide vigil where they listened to speakers, joined together in prayer, and grieved with the community.
