Message from our Rabbi:
Saturday, October 7th, was one one of the darkest days in the history of the State of Israel. There are no words to express our pain at seeing the brutality of Hamas terrorists: Innocent Israelis mercilessly slaughtered in the streets, as well as the kidnapped children, toddlers, women and the elderly. Over 700 dead and thousands injured. And we don't yet know how many have been taken into Gaza as hostages.
People are asking me repeatedly what they can do help. At this painful hour, it is incumbent upon us all to stand with our Israeli cousins and to show them our solidarity and support. As the Talmud teaches “Kol Yisrael arevim zeh ba-zeh — All Israel is responsible one for the other” (Shavuot 39a).
Now is the time for us to put those words into action.
I have also pasted links below to some of the many organizations engaged in vital work at this pivotal time and need our support.
With prayers for strength and healing,
Rabbi Mark Zimmerman
