As a synagogue community committed to a thriving Jewish homeland for all its citizens, we join countless people around the world in sharing profound sadness and concern over the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, Iran, and Iran’s many proxies in the region. There is no shortage of organizations offering critical emergency aid to individuals and communities in Israel still reeling from October 7th. We stand with Israel and we pray that she will endure and become stronger with our help.
