Last night hundreds of people, children, bereaved family members, and friends gathered outside the OneFamily building in Jerusalem for a unique and emotional Yom Hazikaron Ceremony.
The ceremony was initiated nine years ago by a group of bereaved children after feeling uncomfortable attending their local public community ceremonies.
They asked us to create a ceremony for them at OneFamily where they know they are with family, and knew that they were safe to express their thoughts and feelings.
