- 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:

- Project Shema: Building Bridges Through Understanding: Project Shema trains and supports the Jewish community and allies to understand and address contemporary antisemitism, with an emphasis on how anti-Jewish ideas can emerge in discourse around Israel.

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/.
