Dear Friends,

The Elie Wiesel Center for Jewish Studies condemns the murderous attacks on civilians in Israel by the terrorist group Hamas.
We share your utter outrage at these atrocities, and we share your grief.

President Biden’s support for Israel can be found here.
President Herzog’s impassioned speech, here (in Hebrew, with English translation below the video).

You can learn more about what’s going on at these news sources:

For donations, here are two suggestions:

We stand with the people of Israel.
Our best wishes in this difficult time.
