We're thankful that most of the attacks from Iran and Hezbollah against the people of Israel were stopped last night, although some still caused harm. Our hearts go out to a critically injured young girl.Leaders from government, military, and the U.S. Jewish community briefed thousands of participants this morning during a webinar organized byJewish Federations of North America. Click the link below to watch. Experts shared updates on how Federations are supporting and safeguarding the people of Israel and our local Jewish communities. Our community’s crucial support is building and fortifying bomb shelters; expanding trauma care for tens of thousands; and safeguarding the elderly, new immigrants, and young adults under our partners' care.While there are no known local threats, we're staying vigilant with our security partners, especially with Passover nearing. Now more than ever, proudly participating in Jewish life is critical to ensuring a flourishing Jewish Palm Beach.Your support is crucial.

As Israel is attacked by Iran, we express unwavering solidarity with the people of Israel and send our prayers for their safety and an end to this despicable violence. We stand united in support of Israel and pray for peace. We are comforted by US support and by IDF statements that the situation is under control.Federation is in close contact with our partners on the ground in Israel and in our partner region of TZAHAR, and we will make our community aware of any needs that require support or response.May one day we know peace. Am Yisrael Chai.
