Unprecedented joint call from Chief Rabbis of the world for Jewry to unite this Shabbat as a spiritual response to the coronavirus
Chief Rabbis from across the globe have today called for world Jewry to unite and keep this Shabbat to support one another and pray for each other's welfare.
#KeepingItTogether is a call to unite the Jewish community worldwide in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions that have been brought in to protect everyone's welfare. The united call is from the Chief Rabbis of Israel, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, Argentina, South Africa, Moscow, Rome, Brussels, as well as the Conference of European Rabbis.
In a signed letter, the coalition of Jewish leaders urges the global Jewish community to use Shabbat Hagadol – the "Great Shabbat" immediately before Pesach – as an opportunity to tap into the transformative power of Shabbat and to unite in the face of the current crisis.
The Chief Rabbis are calling on Jews in every corner of the globe to:
1. Call or message each other with words of support before Shabbat;
2. Pray for each other, and all humankind just before candle-lighting;
3. Keep this Shabbat together.
Each of these three actions is intended to have a far-reaching impact and to connect the global Jewish community, whilst at the same time, calling on world Jewry to uphold the vital social distancing measures set out by world governments and health authorities.
