How can we fathom the savage slaughter of our brothers and sisters–the men, women and children brutally murdered in their homes, and on the streets of Israel?
We mourn this catastrophe. Our hearts break for the hundreds of violated, kidnapped and wounded. We pray for them.
We pray for the definitive, resounding and swift success of the Israel Defense Forces and for the safety of its soldiers and the people of Israel.
As Israel is under unprecedented attack, Chabad-Lubavitch representatives in the Holy Land are on the ground providing critical physical, emotional and spiritual support to traumatized families, individuals and communities.
In the diaspora, Jews are flocking to Chabad centers and local synagogues to rally behind their brothers and sisters. No matter their religious affiliation, no matter their political persuasion, they come united in a desire to support the people of Israel and are asking how can we make a difference?
In times of crisis, the Rebbe taught us that we are empowered by prayer, Torah study and charity-giving. He reminded us as well, that mitzvahs can impact the outcome of our efforts.
Let us harness these spiritual energies in solidarity with our brethren in Israel.
Please contact your local Chabad Center for more information on how you can participate in prayer, Torah study and mitzvahs.
We are confident that Israel will prevail.
