Dear Friends,
In response to the recent events in Israel, Orthodox communities all over the world are coming together, shul by shul and community by community, to join in heartfelt tefillah and recitation of Tehillim. These events are critical and profoundly inspiring.
In addition, many Jewish communities are organizing community-wide rallies to demonstrate public support of Israel. These gatherings are of vital importance, both in the public show of support for Israel at this difficult time – something upon which the government of Israel places great value - and for the opportunity it affords us to stand together, shoulder to shoulder, as a Jewish community. This is a precious opportunity, coming as it does on the heels of a year of terrible internal division.
The Orthodox Union is joining in partnership with the UJA Federation of New York and many other organizations in a rally in support of Israel that will be held tomorrow, Tuesday October 10, at 5:00 PM EDT.
We plan to be there, to stand together with the entire Jewish community in support of Israel. If you are in the New York area, please consider joining us there.
