We pray for the safety of soldiers defending Israel and its people, as well as the heroes on the front lines who are serving those in need. We commit to unending advocacy for the safety and immediate release of all hostages. We mourn the loss of all innocent lives, Israeli and Palestinian. Recognizing the complexity of this conflict, we believe in the importance of seeing truth in its different sides, while always condemning terrorism. We join our elected leaders in condemning Antisemitic and Islamophobic incidents on college campuses and implore the U.S. Department of Education to make colleges safe from Antisemitism and all forms of hate. All public spaces must be made safe from bigotry and violence.

Oseh Shalom Bi-m’romav — May the One Who is the Ultimate Source of Peace bring peace to Israel, the entire region, and all the world.
