We Stand with Israel

We are horrified by the unprovoked attacks on Israel. We have witnessed the country that holds a unique place in hearts subjected to rocket and terror attacks. Hundreds have been killed, taken hostage or are missing in inexcusable acts of aggression. Our hearts weep for all the innocent people of the region affected by these terror groups. We pray for the safe return of innocent hostages and the forces of peace to bring calm and safety to this Holy Land.  We stand in solidarity with our Israeli brothers and sisters and all those affected by these acts of violence and terror. 

DONATE TO ISRAEL

Israel needs us. Please donate to the Jewish Federation of Atlanta-Israel Emergency Campaign. To donate:
