Jewish Communities Hold Events to Honor Bibas Family, Celebrate Purim

Jewish communities worldwide have expressed deep sorrow and support for the Bibas family following their tragic losses. In Newark, Rabbi Avraham Minsky facilitated a meaningful tribute by encouraging a law student to put on tefillin in memory of the Bibas boys, with community support allowing for the provision of the tefillin. This act of remembrance is seen as a way to bring light into the world amid grief. Concurrently, events like Ma'ayanot's annual challah bake have brought together women to focus on themes of faith and heroism, particularly highlighting the resilience of returned hostages and female soldiers. These gatherings are not only about communal prayer but also serve as platforms for supporting organizations aiding lone soldiers. Together, these initiatives reflect a commitment to honoring memory and fostering community strength in challenging times.
