Statement of Support

Beth Israel Congregation affirms our continued wholehearted support for all efforts undertaken by the governments of Israel and the Palestinian people to produce a lasting and secure peace based upon the "two state solution". We pray that these efforts will lead these two peoples further down the path of peace. We support all efforts by Israel and her neighbors to produce a cessation of violence and to lay the framework for peace through negotiation and appropriate compromise in an atmosphere of mutual respect and recognition. May we see the day when all people in the Middle East and throughout the world will live in security and peace.
