Dear Beit Rayim Family and Friends,
Since October 7, 2023, our lives have changed. The loss of lives resulting from the barbaric attacks of our enemies has jolted our entire Jewish community into a new reality. The biased media reporting of the subsequent events has made matters worse, painting Israel and the Jewish diaspora as the aggressors.
We are now grappling with our emotions of anxiety, depression and anger. Despite these challenges, we (Israel and the Jewish Diaspora) are rallying back and will overcome this adversity… as we have done before throughout our history.
It is at this precise time Beit Rayim members must come together to show our support and pride for Israel. The time is NOW, for us to challenge and enlighten the media and politicians to understand the facts of Israel’s resolution to defend itself.
Our newly formed Israel & Jewish Advocacy Team has been active in representing the Beit Rayim community at various events and lobbying politicians to promote the facts and dispel the lies being spewed out by various media outlets.
As a community, Beit Rayim stands strong and steadfast in solidarity with our brothers and sisters, family and friends, and all the people of Israel.
At every Shabbat service we recite the prayer for the Israeli Soldiers. We pray for the safety and security of the hostages and the IDF. Nearing the end of service we sing the Israeli national anthem, Hatikvah.
Israel and the entire Jewish nation are at the forefront of our minds and hearts.
Am Yisrael Chai! Irv Siegel
