Overview

• Organizers in Colorado Springs will hold a free, public candlelight vigil at Acacia Park at 6:00 p.m. Tuesday, hosted by First Amendment Media with local officials and clergy among the speakers.
• KOAA reports the vigil comes two years after attacks that killed 1,139 people in Israel and during a war that has caused tens of thousands of deaths, with organizers pledging to honor victims and those still missing.
• Hey Alma republished on October 6, 2025 its practical guide outlining five ways to mark the date: mourning, prayer, time with loved ones, art-making, and engagement with advocacy groups.
• The guide points readers to resources such as contemporary liturgy on Ritualwell and a Rabbis4Ceasefire directory of welcoming communities, noting the anniversary falls between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
• It also links to name lists for Israelis and foreign citizens killed on October 7 and for Palestinians killed, noting the Palestinian list does not separate combatants from noncombatants, and it observes the war remains unresolved.
