Resources During the war in Israel
Our hearts break as we continue to see and hear the news of the horrific war in Israel and Gaza. Sukkat Shalom strongly condemns acts of terror and violence and we pray for hope while summoning the strength to strand with our Israeli family. We unite with our Jewish community across the globe to pray for their safety, for our own friends and family members, the innocent in Gaza, and for the safety of all who want to live peacefully in Israel. We recognize that all human beings are created b'tzelem Elohim, in God's image.
Below, please find a number of resources, including links to trusted media outlets, ways to donate, and tips for parents and families.
This page will be updated on a regular basis.
If you, or a member of your family, needs additional support, do not hesitate to reach out the Sukkat Shalom clergy and professional staff.
