Last Shabbat, we witnessed the deadliest act of anti-Semitism in North American history. This Shabbat, we respond with our greatest show of solidarity.

We are witnessing an unprecedented rise in anti-Semitic acts in America, up 57% in 2017. And, in the aftermath of the lethal attack at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life synagogue, we are also witnessing an outpouring of support — reminding us that “out of the fires of desperation burn hope and solidarity.”

Peace-loving citizens from every corner of the globe, clergy from every religious sector, political leaders from both sides of the ocean and both sides of the aisle — are uniting with us for Solidarity Shabbat across the continent.

What do we do when the unspeakable happens? We stand together. First and foremost, as a people. And as the Federation Movement.

From Toronto to Tampa. Montreal to Minneapolis. Cleveland to Corpus Christi. Federations across the continent are participating in Solidarity Shabbat: Stand With Pittsburgh. Please join us.
