Rabbi Steven Wernick reflects on the significance of the martyrology recitation, "Ella Escara," during Yom Kippur, connecting historical Jewish suffering to the recent tragic events in Israel. He emphasizes that remembering those lost, such as victims of the October 7th attacks, is not only about honoring their memories but also about acknowledging the ongoing challenges faced by the Jewish community and the importance of solidarity and action in response to suffering.
