Israel in Crisis – Additional Information

We are gathering any related information that may be helpful during the current crisis in Israel. These pages are being updated regularly. If you have information you think should be added, please be in touch with the rabbi.

From USY/USCJ’s Youth Movement: There are concerns that Hamas will be using TikTok, Instagram, and X (formerly known as Twitter) to release graphic pictures and videos of those abducted.  We highly recommend you take this into consideration for your children and monitor or possibly remove access to social media content that allows for videos.

Throughout the last months, many of us and our teens have taken in a barrage of tough content through the news and social media.  We are all already trying to grapple with what we have seen and the onset of these disturbing videos may cause additional unintentional harm.

Please reach out to our staff for support.

שִׂים שָׁלוֹם טוֹבָה וּבְרָכָה חֵן וָחֶֽסֶד וְרַחֲמִים עָלֵֽינוּ וְעַל כָּל יִשְׂרָאֵל עַמֶּֽךָ

Grant peace, welfare, blessing,​​ grace, loving kindness and mercy unto us and unto all Israel, thy people.
