A Time For Prayer And Action

nd what a week it was . . . the seemingly unremitting suicide bombings
during the holiday of Passover, then Israel's retaliatory strikes into
Ramallah and other parts of the West Bank, interwoven with Detroit
Jewry's visible response in a show of solidarity and outrage — and as a
memorial to the Israeli dead.
"At this time of terrible sadness and crisis," said Jewish Community Council of
Metropolitan Detroit President Ann Zousmer on Monday, when 400 of us gath-
ered at Adat Shalom Synagogue in Farmington Hills, "we pray for understanding.
We pray for the families whose loss is inexplicable. We pray for the security of our
beloved Israel. We pray for the right of Israelis, and for all of us, to live in peace."
This Shabbat, let us pray for peace in the Middle East and for a quick end to the
anti-Semitic slurs disturbingly popping up in parts of Europe.
As always,

A

Shabbat shalom!
