We have been following the events in Israel and Iran over the last 24 hours. This is a rapidly evolving situation, and we are all watching closely as Israel remains in a State of Emergency. We feel deeply today: we worry for the safety and security of everyone in our homeland, including so many of our own children, families, and friends who are beginning their summers with time spent in Israel. We are proud of Israel for protecting global security in the fight against terror.  We feel uncertain about our own place as Jews in America, given the dramatic rise in antisemitism, and as we have for more than 600 days, we pray for the release of the remaining hostages in Gaza and a swift end to the war. We are holding so much.

This weekend, we are celebrating Pride Shabbat in our community. We urge you to come to services - even more so tonight - at a moment when we have the opportunity to be together and embrace our vulnerable communities. On this Shabbat, in connection with Jews around the world, bring your love, your joy, and your pride into our sanctuary.

Temple Emanuel remains committed to being a safe, welcoming space where we can pray, learn, and connect without fear.
