GrumpyPenguin, This evening in Australia, we mark the shloshim - the 30 days - since the deaths of 1400 people at the hands of Hamas terrorists.
Around the world, for the next 24 hours, candles will be lit and prayers said as we remember all who were slaughtered.
The shloshim is an integral part of #Jewish mourning rituals.
We also mark that it has been 30 days that 230 or so Israelis have been held in captivity.
