Rabbi Schachar Orenstein (right) led the congregation in worship at the Beth Israel Ohev Sholem synagogue on Oct. 14. The prayer vigil was held for those who were affected by the Hamas terrorist attacks in southwestern Israel the previous week. An estimated 1,400 people were killed in the series of attacks, and as of this writing, 2,600 people have been killed as a result of retaliatory airstrikes in Gaza by Israel. (Photo by Shirley Nadeau)
