Standing With Israel

Every day our hearts and thoughts turn to Israel. Now, as Israel fights for her survival, only more so. We are proud Zionists and stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in their hour of need.

SPACE FOR PRAYER & REFLECTION

 

In light of the tragic taking of hostages in Israel, we have dedicated a prayer/reflection space just outside the chapel. In this space, people will be invited to learn about the hostages, pray for their safety and take some quiet moments for reflection. We are marking this space for adults/mature audiences and advise that children only attend with parental supervision. Please help us spread the word and encourage people to come visit.

Historically, spiritually, culturally, demographically, and geographically Israel is and must be at the center of the Jewish world. This is the basic premise of Zionism that established a state of the Jewish people. And there are two implications. One, the diaspora has a responsibility to and stake in Israel. And two, Israel has a responsibility to and stake in the diaspora. – Rabbi Alexander Davis, Rosh Hashana Sermon 5784/2023
