October 7 anniversary, Hamas attack, Israel, Simchat Torah

From joy to shock: the first news headlines on 7.10

About a year has passed since Hamas launched a murderous attack on Israel, a few hours before that Israeli society was preoccupied with holding the events of the second sieges in Tel Aviv. In Srugim we decided to bring you the news that preceded the massacre and the one that started the period we are in now.

Exactly one year ago today, the State of Israel woke up to a reality it had not yet known, Hamas terrorists invaded the settlements surrounding Gaza and murdered over 1,200 people in the largest terrorist attack since the establishment of the state. Since then we have been at war for our existence on multiple fronts. It seems that Israeli society has been reborn since that Shabbat, and all the events that happened before seem imaginary to us.

Popular Israeli news site Srugim decided to bring up the forgotten and bring the news that appeared on the site on the eve of Simchat Torah and the end of the holiday when time stood still. A few hours before we all gathered in the synagogue for Simchat Torah celebrations.

In Israel, a fight broke out over holding the second laps in the streets of the city of Tel Aviv when the Supreme Court ruled that a Jewish head could hold but without segregation. Following the ruling, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called on the chairman of the state camp, Benny Gantz, to dance with the books of the Torah. The struggle surrounding the holding of the event was part of a chain of events of an internal rift in Israeli society surrounding the legal reform and matters of religion and state, which culminated in the Yom Kippur prayer when a confrontation broke out between worshipers and opponent of separated prayer.

As mentioned, the whole picture changed on the 7th of October at 6:29 a.m. and since then the State of Israel has been at war for its existence. The headline that closed the Simchat Torah evening in which Smotrich called Gantz to dance together and mere hours later another headline after the holiday about the Hamas surprise attack.
