Three years after October 7, Sinai Temple gathered on Shabbat B’reisheet — the Shabbat we begin reading the Torah again — to remember the dead, to hear from those who survived, and to sing.

This is the full commemoration from the morning of October 10, 2026.

The service exists because after her daughter Jordana’s bat mitzvah fell on the first commemoration, Jasmine Danielpoor asked that it happen every year on the week of October 7.

We remembered Matan Ekstein z"l, 23, who ran out of a shelter at the Nova festival with his friend Adir to draw the terrorists away so that three young women inside could live. And Captain Shir Eilat z"l, 20, who commanded the observation post at Nachal Oz, and who once told a struggling soldier: “Don’t wait for the storm to pass. Learn to dance in the rain.” Bennett Rosenthal built an original song from her words, and performed it here for her. Shir’s name means song.

We heard from Shira, our shinshinit, who spent twenty-four hours in a safe room four kilometers from Gaza. And from Eyal Barad of Kibbutz Nir Oz, who told us what October 7 took from his daughter.
