Dear {{first_name}},
The TBJ Israel Mission is underway.
Rabbi Gewirtz, Cantor Fishbein, and 36 TBJ members are in Israel this week on a solidarity mission.
Rabbi Gewirtz reflected on their journey before they arrived: I am so incredibly proud. So proud of the size of our group. So proud of the enthusiasm of our group. So proud of their devotion, commitment, and desire to bear witness, be in solidarity; offer love and comfort; and perhaps most importantly to volunteer with and for communities that we will do anything to help. And so I can’t wait to see you all when you get here…we have a lot to do. And to everyone back at home, we are here to represent you and say everything you have been expressing over the past three months. We promise you; you will be with us in every experience.
Photos and Rabbi Gewirtz's reflections will be regularly updated on our website at www.tbj.org/israel.
THIS FRIDAY, JANUARY 26 5:30 PM Guest Educator and Author: Rabbi Diana Fersko Author of We Need to Talk About Antisemitism Please join us this Friday at erev Shabbat services to hear Rabbi Fersko: Antisemitism is on the rise in America, even before the events of October 7 in Israel, in guises both subtle and terrifyingly overt. In We Need to Talk About Antisemitism, Diana Fersko, a millennial rabbi, explores why we’re reluctant to discuss antisemitism—and empowers us to fight against it.
