Chanukah Day #1 - Comforting A Lone Survivor of October 7th
Hidabroot
Ariel Zohar’s bar mitzvah, celebrated weeks after he survived the October 7 massacre, became a living testament to Jewish courage, memory, and the unbroken chain symbolized by his rescued tefillin. His encounter with Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau, a fellow orphan who rebuilt his life, shines as a message of strength, continuity, and the light every young Jew carries into the future.
