Family Commemoration and Grief

The family of a hostage in Gaza is grieving the loss of two relatives, while finding solace in Jewish traditions of remembrance. Abby Owen shared how hundreds gathered at the kibbutz where her cousins were born to honor their memory through storytelling and emotional connections. Her children, initially unaware of the full extent of the tragedy, began to comprehend the loss as they recognized the absence of their cousin during moments of shared experiences. This transition reflects a profound journey through grief and understanding, as the children articulate their feelings by noticing reminders of their cousin in everyday life.
