The Jewish community in St Mary’s County is heartbroken by the heinous and evil acts that have occurred and continue to happen in Israel. While Beth Israel Synagogue is a small congregation we raise our collective voices in solidarity with the Israeli people and hope for peace and security in Israel and the world at large. We mourn the dead from this vicious attack, hope for the safe return of all hostages, and we are praying for an end to this bloodshed. It is now time for us and our government to stand with Israel and stand up to terrorist acts committed against a civilian population. It is time to come together as peace-loving people and work for solutions to end sadness, sorrow, death and instability throughout the world. We ask for prayers and support for those who have passed, those who are injured, and those who are now in harm’s way. We ask for sincere prayers for peace.
