We Stand with Israel

As the war in Israel and Gaza continues, we pray for safety and healing for all those in harm’s way and a restoration of calm as soon as possible.

We mourn with the families of those murdered in the horrific October 7 massacre and join in the worldwide call for the return of the hostages.

We extend our solidarity to the citizens of Israel who continue to suffer from displacement and trauma, the mounting loss of their soldiers, and mass unrest in resistance to their government.

We express our profound sorrow at the unimaginable agony of Gaza’s civilians and support all efforts to ease the humanitarian crisis unfolding there.

We join our hearts with Jews and others around the world in praying that leaders on both sides of this conflict will turn from violence to diplomacy in an effort to enable both peoples to live side by side in peace and self-determination.
