We are heartbroken by the news from Israel, and we stand in solidarity with Israel as it defends itself against these horrific attacks on its people.  Like so many others, we have struggled to contain our grief, fear, anger, and confusion.  Along with the entire community, we are praying for the well-being of our families, friends, and loved ones.   We send strength to all the men and women of the IDF, and especially our close friends and colleagues of Havat Hashomer.  We pray for peace.
