Friends, these past few days have been a nightmare come true as we watch in horror the events in Israel. It was comforting to have so many gather on Sunday night in solidarity, and as I write this, I am preparing to travel to Houston for a city-wide gathering. This Friday night, we will continue to recite prayers of hope even as we desire news of Israel’s successful efforts to regain its peace and security.
There are many organizations to donate to at this time, including the Jewish Federation, Magen David Adom, and the Friends of Israel Defense Forces. Please also reach out to friends and family in Israel and to those who have friends and family in Israel. This is a time for giving each other strength.
May the light come soon to a world in need of God’s eternal presence.
