Benjamin Drutman’s Post

I am overwhelmed with sadness by the recent acts of terrorism carried out by Hamas on the people of Israel over the weekend. I am two degrees of separation from countless loved ones lost, including many women and children. There is never any justification for terrorism, and my thoughts and prayers go out to all innocent lives affected by these senseless acts of violence. I firmly stand with Israel in its efforts to defend its citizens, and I pray for peace for the entire region. 🕊️🇮🇱 My dear friend, Rabbi Dave Sorani, has kindly shared a few organizations that are making a difference on the ground, and I've provided the links below for those interested in getting involved from the safety of their homes: One Family - Treating victims of terror with everything they need, from therapeutic resources for healing and growth to counseling and support to families: https://lnkd.in/gRNg8AYb Grilling for IDF - Operating 24 hours a day, they are cooking and driving home-cooked meals directly to the soldiers on the front lines: https://lnkd.in/ggMuqkE3 United Hatzalah - Volunteer-based organization that provides emergency medical response within minutes of any medical emergency for free: https://israelrescue.org/ Although it is clear that Antisemitism is omnipresent, I still believe that there are many who will stand together, show support, and contribute to helping those affected by these challenging circumstances.
