A firsthand look at excellence in pediatric care! 🏥 Consul General @Adi_Farjon Israel and Public Affairs Officer Catherine Miers had the pleasure of visiting @TexasChildrens Hospital in Houston. We are grateful for the opportunity to see firsthand the exceptional care, groundbreaking research, and medical innovation that have earned Texas Children’s recognition as a leading children’s hospital in the United States for ten consecutive years. We value our growing partnership with Texas Children’s and look forward to exploring opportunities for collaboration, knowledge exchange, and connections with Israel’s innovative medical technology sector, united by a shared commitment to improving children’s lives.

A lifetime of friendship. A legacy of unwavering support. 🇮🇱🇺🇸 Consul General @Adi_Farjon Israel was honored to recognize U.S. Ambassador to Israel @GovMikeHuckabee for his decades of steadfast friendship with the State of Israel and the Jewish people.

Congressional staffers from across Texas recently visited Israel, gaining firsthand insight into the country’s history, security challenges, and resilience. Representing offices from across the Texas congressional delegation, the group visited Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Yad Vashem, the Old City of Jerusalem, and the Western Wall. The delegation also visited Majdal Shams, where they paid tribute to the 12 children killed in a Hezbollah rocket attack, and reflected on the lives lost during the October 7 terrorist attacks. We are grateful for their visit and their commitment to strengthening the enduring relationship between Israel and Texas through firsthand engagement and understanding. 🇮🇱🇺🇸

Last week, the Consulate General of Israel to the Southwest, together with the @jfedhtx and the @erjcchouston, gathered with our community to mark three years since the October 7 terrorist attacks and honor the victims and all those forever changed by that day. The evening included memorial prayers, remarks from Deputy Consul General @ShoshanElad and Jewish Federation President and CEO Renée Wizig-Barrios, and a candle-lighting ceremony in remembrance of those we lost. We were honored to present a special screening of Find Me, Okay?, a documentary directed by Yula Gidron that follows the family and loved ones of Eden Yerushalmi through their struggle to bring her home after she was taken hostage by Hamas on October 7. Following the screening, director Yula Gidron and Arbel Ashkenazy, Eden’s best friend and a survivor of the Nova Music Festival massacre, joined in a deeply moving conversation about love, loss, and remembrance. The evening concluded with our community singing Hatikvah together, united in grief, remembrance, and hope. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our partners, speakers, volunteers, student performers, and everyone who joined us to honor the lives lost and stand alongside those who continue to carry the weight of October 7. Three years later, we remember. We mourn. And we stand together. May their memories be a blessing. 🕯️🇮🇱 📸: Hagit Bibi Photography

🗳️ Another vote for Israeli democracy! Consul Elad Shoshan cast his ballot today at the Consulate General of Israel to the Southwest in Houston, joining Israeli diplomats around the world in exercising their democratic right to vote. Even thousands of miles from home, Israeli representatives are making their voices heard and taking part in shaping their country’s future.

Amit Mann could have run. She chose to stay and save lives. On October 7, the 22-year-old paramedic treated the wounded in Kibbutz Be’eri until Palestinian Hamas terrorists murdered her. She spent the last day of her life trying to save others. 🕯️ This is Amit’s story. #UNFORGO7TEN

They came with a simple wish: to dance and listen to music. At the Nova memorial, candles shine in the darkness, honoring the bright, young lives stolen on October 7. Each flame represents a person whose light lives on in the hearts of those who love them. We will never forget you. 🕯️ 📹 @eliyashabtay #unforgo7ten #neverforget #weremember #rememberthem #israel

Three years after October 7, over 1,000 Christians from around the world came to the Nova massacre site. Guided by their faith, they came to stand with Israel, to remember, and to make sure these stories are never forgotten. Now they will carry those voices home. ✝️🇮🇱 #unforgo7ten #christiansinisrael #standwithisrael #christianfaith #neverforget

Some embraces say what words cannot. On October 13, 2025, the final 20 living hostages returned from Gaza following two years in Palestinian Hamas' captivity. Their families could finally hold them again after 738 days, and an entire nation shared their relief, even as we hold deep grief for those who did not return home alive. One year later, we hold the survivors and their families close as they continue to heal and carry the memory of those we lost with us always. 💛🇮🇱 #unforgo7ten

One year ago today, after two years in Hamas captivity, Israeli hostages were finally reunited with their families. 🎗️🇮🇱 The first hugs. The tears. The overwhelming relief after 738 days of unimaginable suffering at the hands of the Hamas terrorist organization. For two years, an entire nation held its breath, waiting for these moments. And finally, we could breathe again. ❤️ #unforgo7ten #israel #hostages #familyreunion #october7

From 53 nations, one united message: Christians from around the world stand with Israel. Christians from around the world gathered in Jerusalem, standing together in solidarity with Israel and the Jewish people. 📹 Eagles’ Wings #christiansinisrael
