Jerusalem, Israel - Mar. 10, 2026 - At the Jerusalem Theater, a new exhibition scheduled to open to the public on Sunday, March 1, 2026, remains unseen after the venue closed when war broke out the day before, on Shabbat, Parshat Zachor.
“Yakir’s Light,” featuring photographs by Chaya Hexter and drawings by her son, Yakir Hexter z”l, curated by Yair Medina, offers an emotional experience.
Thanks to the security guard stationed at the entrance, BJL was briefly allowed inside to view the exhibit, described as a “photographic diary” documenting Chaya’s first year of mourning for her son. It serves as a visual record of a world changed, a quiet testimony of love, loss, and endurance.
Yakir Hexter z”l had completed two years o...

A Message of Faith From Rabbi Yitzchak Biton
Rabbi Yitzchak Biton and his wife Tamar lost three of their children in last week’s missile strike in Beit Shemesh: Yaakov, Sarah, and Avigail, of blessed memory.
Yesterday I was at the Grand Court Hotel in Jerusalem, where hundreds of people came to comfort the family. Most of them had never met the Bitons personally. Many words of encouragement were shared there. I would like to share one thought from the bereaved father, Rav Yitzhak Bitton:
“People speak to me about Akeidat Yitzchak. Chazal teach that this is what gives us strength. All of our patriarchs and matriarchs endured trials. And because they are the foundation of our nation, and we are continuing their path, each one of us has inherited their strength. We have rec...
