Jewish Federation of St. Louis

Vigils are taking worldwide to commemorate the approximately 1,200 killed in the Hamas attacks a year ago. The Jewish Federation of St. Louis is holding a one-year remembrance event Monday evening.

In the 18 days of violence between Israel and Hamas that has plunged the region into war, people in the St. Louis area have taken to the streets. At rallies for Israel, people decried the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks. But the largest demonstrations in the area have been in support of Palestinians and against the Israeli government’s relentless attacks on Gaza.
