Dear Friends,
The murder of the three Israeli teenagers is a deeply sad tragedy that has put Jewish communities around the world in mourning, showing support for the bereaved families with a collective embrace.
Israel continues to experience difficult times as we face yet another conflagration with our neighbors. Now more than ever it is important that we come together as a community. This will enable us to support each other during this period of sadness and adversity. The unity of the Jewish people sends the strongest possible message to Jews worldwide. It says, “We are with you. You are not alone.” And this is the best possible defense against those who seek to harm us.
We are a resilient people and we will show the world our spirit can never be broken - we will live, we will laugh and we will continue to flourish in our homeland.
With warm WIZO regards,
Janine Gelley
