CABI stands in solidarity and mourning with Israel in the face of the horrific and barbaric attack by Hamas on Oct. 7, the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust. As Jews, we value life above all, and we pray for this violence to end quickly. We pray for the safe return of all those taken captive by Hamas, healing for the injured, and peace for all who mourn. We affirm Israel's right to defend itself, and its obligation to protect its citizens. We hold in our hearts the people of Israel; they are our family. We also hold in our hearts the innocent victims. We pray for a future that brings peace, prosperity and dignity for all in the region.
