White Plains, New York -- 20 October 2023 and 17 October 2023, respectively. The Gates of Remembrance sculpture was created by American artist Rita Rapaport (1918-2003) in 1992 to "memorialize the suffering and death of millions during the Nazi era from 1933-1945." The sculpture features five panels (depicted in the black & white collage) depicting the Hebrew word "Remembrance" and torn fabric with a prisoner's number (top left), barbed wire that represents concentration camps (top right), broken tablets that represent the "Ten Commandments" (bottom left) and a Torah scroll in flames that represents Kristallnacht (9-10 November 1938), the beginning of the Holocaust (bottom right). The handwritten note in Hebrew and English was left by an unknown Jewish person. It reflects resolute determination in the aftermath of the worst slaughter of innocent Jewish people (1400+ on 7 October 2023 when Israel was attacked by several thousand Hamas terrorists whose barbaric acts are antithetical to true Islam) since the Holocaust (1938-1945). He or she defiantly wrote: 5784 years and still here! We aren't going anywhere. !יהוה ישמור ויברך את עמו הנבחר תמיד (May Yahweh keep and bless His chosen people always!)

Mamaroneck, NY And the rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will see it, to remember the everlasting covenant between God and between every living creature among all flesh, which is on the earth. [Judaism: Bereshit 9:16] I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind… [Christianity: Genesis 9:13-15] The rainbow is a safeguard for the inhabitants of the earth that they will not be drowned and the Milky Way is the door of the heavens and the splitting of the heavens will begin from it. [Islam: Ibn Abbas]
