BJ in Israel: Member Reflections
Rabbis Roly Matalon and Felicia Sol are leading almost 50 BJ members on a trip to Israel to visit our partners and shared society organizations, witness the devastation of October 7, and meet with the survivors and family members of hostages. Some of the participants shared their reflections on the trip so far.

Prayer, Music, & SpiritualityKeeping Israel in Our Hearts
We continue to hold what is happening in Israel and Gaza with heavy hearts and anguish, praying for a negotiated end to the war, the safe return of all hostages, no more loss of innocent lives, and for leadership with long-term vision that will bring about a just and enduring resolution to the conflict. In times like this, we will continue to come together as a community, to support one another, and to learn from friends and partners in Israel as well as from experts on the conflict.
