This week marked 600 days since the brutal attacks of October 7, 2023—a day that changed so many lives forever. As we prepare for Shabbat, our thoughts and prayers remain with the 59 hostages still held by Hamas and their families who still await their return. Their absence is felt deeply, and they must come home. Shabbat Shalom. (fb)

Mazel Tov, mosaic! We’re thrilled to share that Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County’s TV news magazine show has been honored with a Silver Telly Award in the General – Public Interest & Awareness category. The award-winning episode, “Surviving the Unthinkable – October 7, 2023,” featured powerful stories from October 7 survivors Shye Klein and Asher Levy, with insights from Federation Board Chair-Elect Brian Seymour. This marks mosaic’s second consecutive Telly win — last year’s episode, “Reflections of Trauma and Destruction,” earned a Bronze for its moving interviews with local leaders from our Community Leaders Israel Study Tours. Watch the full episode here to witness the resilience and courage that continues to inspire. (fb)
