What Can I Do For Israel? Three Things

Dear Friends,

We are with Israel. We have all watched with horror and disbelief at the slaughter, the kidnapping, the maiming of innocent Israeli civilians by terrorists. We stand with Israel in doing whatever it deems appropriate to defends its citizens. We wonder what can I do to support Israel now?

There are three things.

1. Attend the rally for Israel tomorrow, October 9, at 12:00 in the Parkman Bandstand on the Boston Commons. A number of us will be gathering at the Newton Centre T at 11:00 if you want to go together.
2. Attend minyan every weeknight at 7:30 where we will offer Tehillim, psalms, for Israel. Offering Tehillim is a traditional, prayerful Jewish response to crisis.
3. Whenever Israel defends itself from murderous terrorists, including now, that generates deep Jew hatred and Israel hatred. Social media is rife with empathy for Hamas and hatred of Israel. How timely then is the rally this Wednesday night, October 11, at 6:30 p.m., at The War Memorial, Newton City Hall, 1000 Commonwealth Avenue, Interrupting Antisemitism and Hate in Our Community: Creating Allyship Through Understanding and Action.

May God protect and defend our beloved Eretz Yisrael. May we show up for Israel, especially now.

See you there,

Wes, Michelle, Elias, Aliza, Dan
