BEACHWOOD, Ohio — It's time for peace, prayer and reflection with the first Jewish sabbath since the attacks last week.
3News was at a Shabbat service in Beachwood yesterday meant to bring healing to all.
The services at Temple Tifereth Israel served as a chance for the Jewish community of Northeast Ohio to come together and feel a sense of solidarity in a sacred space.
They also had friends from the community in attendance which Rabbi Yael Dadoun said was very impactful.
"It's really important that the Jewish communities around the world bond together, not only with each other but also with our greater communities, but not just for the sake of bonding and learning to be with another but really learning to be in dialogue, to have difficult discussions not just about Israel but about everything that's going on, and we have to start in our homes and move out," Rabbi Dadoun said.
Despite the attack and everything everyone has gone through this week, the temple still plans to move forward business as usual, but the healing is going to take a long time.
"It was part of our high holidays, it was a holiday where we celebrate being Jewish, celebrate our Torah, Celebrate peace and our values and the timing has been really difficult, and amplified the pain our people are feeling," Rabbi Dadoun said.
