The entire Shaare Zion Beth-El community stands as one in solidarity with the citizens of Israel as they struggle to respond to one of the worst attacks against the Jewish State since its founding in 1948. More Jewish civilians were murdered on a single day than at any time since the Second World War. We are horrified by the barbaric violence carried out against innocent civilians within Israel by Hamas terrorists; our hearts are broken as we mourn the deaths of over 1400 Israelis. We pray for the refuah sh’lemah, the complete recovery, of the over 2,200 of our brothers and sisters who are wounded, many gravely, and for the speedy and safe return of more than 100 Israelis kidnapped by the enemies of our people, including several children and elderly citizens.
The SZBE community also offers our unwavering support to the soldiers of the I.D.F. who are risking life and limb to defend Medinat Yisrael. Needless to say (though alas, it must be said repeatedly), Israel has a right to defend itself, and to use every means at its disposal to defeat a terrorist group intent on its destruction. In the coming days, weeks and perhaps even months, as Israel strives to defeat Hamas, we will offer our support and prayers. Now more than ever we affirm the words of the prayer for the State of Israel we say every Shabbat in our beloved shul: “May God strengthen the hands of the defenders of our Holy Land; grant them deliverance and crown them with the crown of victory. Grant peace in the Land and everlasting joy to its inhabitants.”
