Tuesday was the one-month anniversary of the massacre in Israel on October 7. And while our grieving continues, we have begun to accept the fact that the war against Hamas will likely continue for some time, that the situation is complex, and that our support for Israel becomes more crucial with each passing day. Next Tuesday, November 14, Jewish Federation of North America is organizing a march in Washington DC.

Dear fellow community members,
I am writing with an update about security at Temple Israel, given the well-documented rise in antisemitic incidents nationally and globally, and, closer to home, the tragic murders, ensuing lockdown, and days of uncertainty our neighbors in Maine endured last week.

This is such a difficult and painful time for us all. As the news of the horrors continue to mount, we are shattered and heartbroken. We grieve and we fear, for loved ones, innocents of all ages, our extended family.

The news from Israel continues to worsen as more innocent lives are lost and the reign of terror continues. The situation is dire and heartbreaking. We are all connected and we feel it. We have many community members who are Israeli and/or have family members and dear friends in Israel.

Like many of you, I have been overwhelmed by the heinous events of the past few days in Israel. To say that this is a tragedy would be a gross understatement. My heart breaks for those who are affected by this conflict, the senseless violence that has already claimed far too many lives, and will undoubtedly, and tragically, take more before it ends.
Temple Israel Stands with Israel.
