Marc Belzberg, chairman of the organization said in a statement: “Our message is, please remember those who lost their lives to terror since last Rosh HaShana, and the empty chair at their holiday tables, of a beloved son who is no more, a witty daughter, a father who was the pillar of strength or a mother who used to huddle all of her children together under her wings of love. That empty chair is nothing compared to the punctured hole in the hearts of everyone they left behind.”
