CBS Chicago: Chicago area Jewish Community Center Remembers Israeli Hostages with T-Shirt Display
In Chicago, people marked one year since the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas in Israel in many different ways, but in the north suburbs, the Jewish Community Center has been keeping the hostages in their hearts all year long.
“When October 7 happened, as a community center open to everybody, we felt the need to say or do something,” said Addie Goodman.
Workers at the Jewish Community Center in Northbrook hung up t-shirts, one for each person who was taken hostage on Oct. 7.
“We chose t-shirts because that really represents a person,” said Goodman, the president and CEO of the community center.
