[HANASHIR:7049] add a prayer for peace

[jill <msjill...>]

Dear Friends,

I have been on this list for some time, albeit quiet most  of the
time.  I feel an urgency to respond from Jerusalem.  I read all of the
messages about the upcoming joyous sukkot celebrations  that you are
leading or participating in and  think about how I can't seem to find
the motivation to even build  our  family sukkah......

I hope that each of you are staying informed  and despite the uneven,
onesided, reporting about what is happening here in Israel, comprehend
that Israel and the Jewish people are living through a  most difficult
chapter in our history.  As a " north american" Israeli, I have found it
particulary disheartening not to hear  some voices of support of the
North American Jewish Community, atleast we don't hear them  in Israel.

As many of you serve in your capacity as "shilchei tzibor" at many
upcoming holiday services and events, please add a song or  prayer of
peace  in support of those of us here who are pained, confused, angry,
disillusioned and saddened about our new realities.

B'shalom

Jill  Moskowitz
