The Light Monument
The Light Monument at Habima Square
In October 2024, Habima Square became a symbol of national mourning and unity, a city square transformed into a field of light.
A public memorial of light
What is the Light Monument?
The Light Monument is Bring Them Light’s public installation at Habima Square, a luminous field of remembrance where each illuminated light stood for a person murdered on 7 October 2023. Throughout October 2024, families, friends, and communities visited the monument to gather, grieve, reflect, and honour the lives behind the lights.
Meaning and purpose
Why the monument matters
1,400+ lights Illuminated across Habima Square in October 2024, one for each person murdered on 7 October
For the entire month, more than 1,400 lights were illuminated at Habima Square. Each one represented a person murdered on 7 October, a quiet presence above the families, friends, and communities who came to remember.
The installation created a space for grief, remembrance, reflection, and gathering. Visitors could pause together, share stories, and honour the memories of those they had lost.
It was not only a memorial. It was a collective act of resilience, memory made visible, remembrance held in common.
A reminder that even in the darkest of times, we carry their light forward.
