Dear Friends, We awoke yesterday morning with heavy hearts after learning of the grave situation in Israel and the horrific ongoing attacks by Hamas and their partners. Innocent Israeli families have been kidnapped. Hundreds are reported injured and deaths are currently in the triple digits and rising. This is not like other attacks. Israel’s Prime Minister has declared that Israel is now at war. The Rady JCC stands with Israel always, especially in these darkest of days. We pray for the safety of Israel’s citizens as well as the brave military forces working to protect our people and the country. Now, more than ever, it is critical that the entire Jewish community comes together and publicly display our love and support of Israel and the people who live there. Join us on Tuesday, October 10 at 7:00 p.m. outside the Asper Jewish Community Campus – 123 Doncaster Street for a solidarity gathering with Israel. Full security protocols will be in place to ensure the safety of all participants. We ask that you join us as we pray for and honour the memory of more than 700 Israelis who have been tragically murdered, pray for peace and the safe return of those who have been kidnapped. The Rady JCC stands shoulder to shoulder with Israel as we pray for our families, and friends, and for the safety of Israel. Don Haid President Rady JCC Rob Berkowits Executive Director Rady JCC
