Supporting Israel
Click image for full statement on Israel from the Reform Movement. "We share these steps understanding that responsibility for building a future in which children can grow in peace requires commitments and leadership from Israelis and Palestinians. We speak inspired by the teaching, 'Kol yisrael arevim zeh ba'zeh," "All of Israel and the Jewish people are responsible, one for the other" (Shevuot 39a). We are committed to the safety and vitality of the Jewish people, the swift return home of all the hostages held in Gaza, and a secure and just state of Israel - now and forever."
“Run for Their Lives” is a global movement to continue to raise awareness and attention calling for the immediate release of the hostages held by Hamas. The local Albany group will meet 1x / week for a walk run of at least 1km. We wear unified shirts for the hostages. Collectively it is a group that is peaceful (we will not be protesting) and is united by our love for one another. This organization is inclusive- we encourage individuals of all religions and ethnicities to join if interested. 💙🤍💙 You can find more infohere. Link to shirts
