ADVANCED REGISTRATION IS CLOSED - 

Walk-Ins will be welcome as space allows.   

 

Amid ongoing heartache and devastation, the UJCVP — alongside our synagogue partners  — invite you and our entire community to commemorate the first anniversary of October 7 together.

The traumas of this past year have impacted each one of us differently. But this evening will give us the opportunity to be with one another, and to find strength as a community. The event will feature music to heal our souls, inspiring speakers to remind us of the resilient spirit of Israel, and opportunities to mourn, honor survivors and heroes, and fill one another with strength and hope for our collective future.

Date: October 6, 2024 
Location: UJCVP (401 City Center Boulevard, Newport News, VA) - note, event will take place in Rodef Sholom Temple.  

Schedule:
6:00pm - Doors Open 
7:00pm - 8:30pm - Ceremony

Important Event Information

Security Protocol 

Security at this event is a top priority and is being coordinated in partnership with the UJCVP's regional security advisor and Newport News Police Department.  Prohibitted items include flags, backpacks, banners, signs, bags larger than 12″ x 6″ x 12″ and noisemakers.  The UJCVP reserves the right to modify this list at any time without notice.

Registration is required. Walk-ins will not be permitted.  Disruptive behavior of any kind will not be tolerated, and any guests causing disruption will be immediately escorted off the premises.

Parking Information

Parking is available in the UJCVP parking lot, located at 401 City Center Boulevard, Newport News.  However, we are expecting a large number of people in attendance and the parking lot is likely to reach capacity.

In the event the UJCVP campus parking lot is full, there will be overflow parking available at the First Baptist Church, located at 12716 Warwick Blvd. Newport News. There will be shuttle transportation available to transport individuals back and forth from the overflow lot, to the UJCVP campus.

We encourage guests to arrive early to the event to ensure time to find parking and get seated.  The doors for the event open at 6:00pm.

Is this event suitable for children?
The event is open to all ages, but some material may be difficult for young children and will be geared toward an adult audience.  As children have different levels of knowledge and comfort, we are not stipulating a minimum age of attendees, but rather, ask parents/guardians to decide based on what they believe will be appropriate for their children.  We are providing baysitting onsite for parents that want and ask that they reserve their spot here.
