Our community came together to mark Yom Hazikaron and remember the brave members of the IDF who paid the ultimate price defending the State of Israel. We also commemorated the thousands of innocent civilians murdered through acts of terrorism.

JRC Chair, Mark Adlestone called for the immediate release of the 59 hostages who continue to be held against their will, focused on the inextricable link between Greater Manchester and the IDF whilst recognising the immense sacrifice made by so many young heroes.

Thank you to Doron and Sharon Segev who survived the attacks on Kibbutz Beeri for being with our community this evening and to the team at UJIA for organising a powerful commemoration.
