A special Shabbat Shalom from local leaders currently in Israel. This week, a small group of Jewish and non-Jewish leaders embarked on a study mission across Israel, which included visits to Yad Vashem and a kibbutz attacked on October 7. Witnessing the aftermath of the attacks and visiting memorials for those lost was incredibly powerful. We look forward to hearing more of their thoughts and insights when they return.
