Dear Friends,

We were inspired by the large and diverse gathering at the community vigil on Monday night.  Now, as we look ahead, we recognize that we need Shabbat more than ever.  Shabbat holds forth a vision of peace and Shabbat is a time for us to draw strength from being together.

We, the Rochester rabbis and cantors, urge everyone to come together and show solidarity with Israel by joining Shabbat worship at any of the area synagogues.  Prayers for Israel and prayers for peace will be a significant part of these Shabbat services.

May the Eternal Source of Blessing be with the people of Israel, the hostages, the injured, the bereaved, and the soldiers.  May God bless us with a path to peace.

Shalom,
Rabbi David Abrahams
