Bullet points of US Jewish groups mark 7 October anniversary amid growing fractures
- The upcoming event hosted by Jewish Federation of Greater Washington and other mainstream Jewish organizations aims to commemorate the attack by Hamas on Israel, but the aftermath has deepened fractures within the American Jewish community.
