- A message from the FJMC Crisis Management Team
Shalom Friends,
We need your stories and reflections on Israel! Every week, we invite a member of the FJMC to share a “reflection” on some aspect of your thoughts, experience or feelings about Israel. It can be a memory, something current or even something forward thinking. Please keep it short, 300 words or less or even a few paragraphs and that you stay away from politics. And it is entirely acceptable to make it about you and Israel. Please send your submission, to Karl Rubin at krubin@fjmc.org and/or Lisa Pollack at assistant@fjmc.org.
Stay Informed: Here are links to some articles and videos that will help understand the conflict:
- American Jewish Committee (AJC) Israel-Hamas War: What You Need To Know
- Brandeis Center/ADL/StandWithUs Launch Pro-Bono K-12 Antisemitism Helpline. The pilot program selected California as the first state given a series of troubling incidents of anti-Semitism in the state’s K-12 schools. Parents and other interested adults in California can go to the helpline website at: http://www.legal-protection.org/k-12
- Israel Program Questionnaire: We want to hear about your Israel programs. If your Men’s Club or Brotherhood has recently held a program about Israel, we would like to collect it to share with other clubs. Share that info here!
For more information please contact Karl B. Rubin – Israel Programming Chairman at krubin@fjmc.org
Stay Safe and Am Yisrael Chai!
In Brotherhood,
FJMC Crisis Management Team
Israel is the homeland of the Jewish people. Jews are connected to our homeland spiritually, physically and psychologically. The FJMC is witnessing in many Jewish communities a lack of knowledge and diminishing commitment to the survivability of Israel. We dedicate ourselves to assisting our membership in leading their communities in three (3) primary ways: Make our communities aware of Israel’s history, keep our friends informed of current events and assist our friends to advocate for Israel. Please help us help others in raising the public’s consciousness about the modern miracle of Israel. To learn more about how your Men’s Club or Brotherhood can engage in FJMC’s Israel Advocacy activities, visit: https://fjmc.org/israel-advocacy/.
