The event was initiated by the Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach’s Shliach and Chief Rabbi of Berlin, Rabbi Yehuda Teichtal, who called on participants to transform the memory of the victims into a source of renewed Jewish identity, greater light, and Mitzvos.
During the ceremony, prayers were recited in memory of those murdered, including a prayer led by Rabbi Yossi Alperin, director of Chabad’s Israeli Center in Berlin. Prayers were also offered by the Israeli ambassador and students of the Jewish school.

At the conclusion of the event, participants were invited to light a candle and commit to an act of goodness, reflecting the message that remembering the victims must also inspire actions that bring light and hope.
