A Message from Rabbi Lina
Picture
How do we respond to the increased expressions of Jew-hatred that we are seeing today?  

Do we cower in fear and move our Jewish stars under our shirts? 

Or do we respond as we did during Hanukkah, as we added light to the darkness, publicly proclaiming the miracle of hope in the time of despair? Let us now bring that action beyond the ritual and symbolic and into our communities. 
  • Let us increase our love and care for each other.
  • Let us show solidarity for our Jewish kin in the ultra-Orthodox communities where they are in danger every day.
  • Let us show solidarity to others who live in fear of bias crime: immigrants, people of color, Muslims, lgbtq people. 
  • Let us respond to evil with good deeds. Pick a mitzvah or act of caring and do it, dedicating it to more peace and safety in the world. 
Some specific actions you might take:
  • Join Friday's gathering (details below) at Sid Jacobson JCC to stand against acts of hate against ourselves and others
  • Attend the New Members Brunch to welcome new members - and perhaps become one yourself, if you are not already!
As Rebbetzin Rachel Posner wrote on the back of her Hanukkah menorah in 1932 Germany: "our light will outlast their flag."
But only if we join together as a community, holding fast to our values, living and manifesting them proudly.

Combating Anti-Semitism - A Time to Gather
Friday, January 3 at 12:30 p.m.
Sid Jacobson JCC
300 Forest Drive, East Hills, NY 11548
We are dealing with a global phenomenon that requires a global response but also a local awakening. More must be done to protect all vulnerable communities. As the Jewish community gathers, we invite people of all faiths and creeds to join with us to stop the alienation and hatred of the "other."

Please Join Us
​

Sid Jacobson JCC is hosting a Community Gathering this Friday, January 3, 12:30-1:30pm. Join area rabbis, Center for Israel’s Shinshinim and UJA representatives in song, statements of solidarity and social action to renew our connection and fortify our bond to one another.

All hearts welcome

David Black Susan Berman Gili Dvash
Please remember to bring a photo ID.
