Since the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, Jewish communities, institutions, and organizations worldwide have become increasingly
vulnerable to cyberattacks that aim to steal sensitive information, which can be used to facilitate violent actions against Jewish communities globally. Hence, the need for encryption is more important than ever, even if it was never done before at the level of Jewish institutions.

The following report outlines the reasons why data encryption and cybersecurity are so important and relevant these days.

Shmini Atzert is noted in the Torah as a mitzvah – but without reason or explanation. On the eighth Shmini Shabbat, the end of the reading of the Torah (“Simchat Torah”) takes place.

The term “Atzeret” means a mass gathering of the people. We want to adopt the term “Shmini Atzeret” as the thematic Jewish framework to mark the anniversary of the October 7th Massacre: a call for a mass gathering of the entire
Jewish people in memory of the murdered and a prayer for hope and better days.

Shmini Atzeret is marked with the Kalanit or anemone; the ready-to-print sticker file is also below.

On October 7, 2023, at 6:30 in the morning, thousands of Hamas terrorists streamed into Israel from the Gaza Strip. Riding on vehicles and equipped with weapons, they infiltrated IDF bases, kibbutzim in the Gaza envelope, and the nearby towns. They murdered hundreds of citizens, raped women, looted and burned down homes, and kidnapped hundreds of children, women, soldiers and elderly Israelis to Gaza.

Hamas caught the State of Israel and the IDF off guard. The army pulled itself together quickly, and Israel declared war on Gaza, whose aims are to eradicate the Hamas government and its military capabilities and to bring the hostages home. Any way you look at them, the events have been unprecedented. The resulting shock waves and upheaval in Israel’s civil society and among Israelis and Jews worldwide have been some of the most difficult we have ever known.

The huge surge in antisemitic incidents, the media coverage, and the mass demonstrations against Israel across the globe have challenged everything we knew before and were familiar with. Questions relating to identity have emerged with great force.

Using videos, items from the press and websites, we have tried in this Beit Ha’am booklet to broaden the scope of the topic and raise basic and relevant questions.

We invite you to choose the sections that interest you the most and devote time and thought to them.

We also encourage you to hold a candid and open-minded discussion dealing with them.

ANU: Museum of the Jewish People and the Weizman National Museum of American Jewish History convened select Israeli and American Jewish thought leaders to develop insights on two questions;

1. What are the principles for transforming a Jewish tragedy into a memory that others value and meaning for generations?;
2. How can we mark the first yahrzeit as a global Jewish people?

The thinking group embarked on this task, acknowledging that while much of the memory work is for generations to come, the current leadership has to play a role in the present.

Current events highlight the necessity of the “all-hazards, whole-community” approach: a comprehensive effort where plans and
efforts address the totality of potential threats – from an attack to a natural disaster, whether a flood or a pandemic.
With respect to the current novel coronavirus (COVID-19), an increasing number of organizations are moving to virtual environments,
to include teleworking and Work From Home (WFH) options. This has spurred questions and concerns related to cyber safety as
well as security.

2023 began with a gradual increase in antisemitic incidents of up to 10%, compared to 2022. This trend was maintained for the first nine months of the year (January-September). However, the events of October 7th and the war that ensued saw a dramatic increase in levels of antisemitism around the world, which resulted in all-time highs. The number of antisemitic incidents for the period between October and December increased six-fold, compared to the previous nine-month period. On a yearly basis, 2023 ended with a 235% increase in antisemitic incidents, compared to 2022, with 43% of monitored events occurring in the USA and 35% in Europe. This past year, violent antisemitic incidents sharply increased by 33%, compared to 2022, with 48% of these related to the Iron Swords war. Here, 46% of all antisemitic incidents took place in the USA, followed by Britain (16%), Germany (9%), France (6%), Canada (6%), Australia (2.5%).

A traumatic event is a situation in which a person is exposed to a direct threat of death or
severe injury to themselves and/or their loved ones. Exposure to a traumatic event can occur
when the person is directly experiencing it or witnessing or learning that the event has
happened to a loved one. It can also occur when professionals – such as first responders,
police officers, and mental health professionals – are repeatedly exposed to aversive details of a
traumatic event. Traumatic events can lead to the development of an acute stress response
and, over time, even post-traumatic stress disorder.

War exposes entire populations to a prolonged state of imminent threat to life, in other words,
a “Continuous Traumatic Threat.” In this situation, the individual focuses on survival, self-preservation,
and safeguarding the immediate surroundings from the external threat.

On the morning of Saturday, 7th October 2023, the State of Israel was shaken to the core when Hamas terrorists waged an unprecedented and barbaric attack. At least 1,200 people were murdered, with an estimate of 20,000 injured by the end of 2024, and 240 having been taken hostage.

From mass murder to rape, torture, mutilation, and taking of hostages, every imaginable international law was completely violated by Hamas, including war crimes, attempted genocide, and crimes against humanity.
Hamas’ actions were universally condemned, including by the United States, Europe, and many leaders around the world.

This YouTube series provides a brief overview and seeks to answer some of the most commonly asked legal questions concerning the actions of Hamas and Israel’s response to the massacre of October 7th.

Providing emotional support via the telephone during emergency situations has become a well-known and accepted method for helping people. In the past, the telephone was seen as an alienating means of communication. Today, however, most people are intimately attached to their smartphones (which are actually mobile personal computers) and can use them to access many services. Asking for assistance via telephone has become legitimate, and is even more common than face-to-face meetings.
This widespread use of mobile phones can be seen as representing the physical and psychological distance between people in the reality of the twenty-first century. At the same time, mobile phones can bring people together during emergencies and in their aftermath, when security and stability have been severely undermined. Phones can also be used to provide assistance to people who were not directly harmed, and facilitate their efforts to restore a sense of equilibrium. Research has proven that using phones to help people in need is effective, simple, and economical in terms of time and emotional energy.
Israeli citizens have used the Ministry of Welfare’s Open Line service frequently, and it has received positive feedback. In the meantime, the threats of war and terrorism continue. This has led to the conclusion that the Open Line should become an official and professionalized service.

Crisis and disaster events can evoke overwhelming emotions: anxiety, anger, uncertainty, helplessness, and a sense of threat to our basic safety and security. In addition, for some the events may provoke earlier traumatic memories from a similar situation and/or intensify preexisting emotional difficulties. Crisis events undermine the sense that we have control over our lives, harm social resilience, and raise levels of anxiety and emotional distress among all of us: children, youth, and adults alike. At times, the emotional overload can paralyze us, leading us to close ourselves off and avoid contact with others. However, talking about our most difficult fears and disturbing thoughts can bring a great sense of relief during times of emotional distress.
