Today, and always, our hearts and prayers are with Israel. As the violent attacks continue, we wish to share with you a statement from the Rabbinical Assembly - we agree wholeheartedly with their words. Please read their statement below.

In light of the deteriorating security situation in Israel, our Rabbinical Assembly released the following statement:
“We are deeply disturbed as we see the rocket fire directed at Israel that has severely impacted civilian populations. The increased military capabilities of Hamas, based in Gaza, are particularly concerning and we recognize Israel’s right to defend itself. We are also gravely troubled by the religious and nationalist-based violence that has erupted between Jews and Arabs in various locales across Israel.
We are pained by the violence, fear, and loss of innocent life in the region. We stand with our siblings in Israel, pray for the safety of Israeli security and rescue forces, for full healing for all who are injured, and offer comfort to the families of those who have died. We are mindful of our Masorti communities, our clergy, and our leaders impacted by these events and all who are providing so much support to those affected.
We call on our members to join with the public plea for true peace in Israel and joy for all its inhabitants. As we are taught in Psalm 122, ‘Pray for the well-being of Jerusalem; May those who love you be at peace. May there be well-being within your ramparts, peace in your citadels.’”
Over the past 48 hours, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad have fired more than 750 rockets at the Jewish State, including 7 at Jerusalem and 130 at Tel Aviv. As of this moment 3 Israelis have died.
Without Iron Dome, Israel’s first defense system, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem would be in shambles. This is something we, as pro-Israel Americans can all feel proud of as millions of Israeli lives were spared
Israel has an obligation and responsibility to defend itself and its citizens from these horrendous terror attacks. Please click the red button below for an opportunity to help the Jewish homeland from where you are.
