"Shalom Sivan,
Below are pictures of a synagogue at Kibbutz Be'eri. 130 residents of this kibbutz were murdered by Hamas and many of its buildings were burned to the ground. Yesterday and today mark 85 years since Kristallnacht (the night of broken glass) when 91 Jews were murdered in Germany -- as their businesses and synagogues were vandalized or set on fire -- in pogroms organized by the Nazis. To commemorate Kristallnacht, synagogues throughout the world are keeping their lights on. Rachel Fricker from Kibbutz Be'eri has made sure to keep her synagogue's lights turned on as well. It's a sign of the constant light her community will radiate as it rebuilds and flourishes like never before.
Dahlia Yohanan."
