The October 7th Remembrance Initiative
Established in the aftermath of the October 7th, 2023 attacks, the Remembrance Initiative is dedicated to honoring the victims, supporting survivors and their families, and ensuring that the events of that day are remembered with accuracy and dignity.
Our Mission
The October 7th Remembrance Initiative exists to preserve the memory of those who lost their lives, to support those who survived, and to document the events with historical accuracy for future generations.
We believe in the power of remembrance as an act of honor, resilience, and healing. By creating spaces—both physical and digital—for commemoration, testimony, and education, we work to ensure that the stories of October 7th continue to be told with dignity and truth.
Through our memorial activities, survivor support programs, educational resources, and community engagement, we strive to transform tragedy into a foundation for understanding, solidarity, and hope.

Our Journey
In the immediate aftermath of the October 7th attacks, a group of community leaders, academics, and professionals came together to discuss how to preserve the memory of the day's events and support those affected.
The October 7th Remembrance Initiative was formally established as a non-profit organization dedicated to memorial, documentation, education, and support programs.
The Initiative began collecting testimonies, documents, and artifacts related to the attacks to create a comprehensive archive for historical preservation and educational purposes.
Development began on the digital memorial website to provide accessible information about the events, honor victims, and offer resources to survivors and their families.
The Initiative launched its first educational programs for schools and community organizations, providing age-appropriate resources for discussing the October 7th events.
Our memorial website was officially launched, providing a digital space for remembrance, education, and resource connections for those affected by the tragedy.
The Initiative continues to expand its programs, collect testimonies, develop resources, and work towards a permanent physical memorial to honor the victims of October 7th.
