Israel Resources & Information

May the strength of Israel endure, and may there come a time when peace becomes stronger than violence and all those who live in the region know calm from a united heart of community.

From our Clergy

We know there are many of us with family in Israel. Those who live in harm’s way and those called up to serve in Israel’s defense are held close to our hearts by all of us. Rabbi Wilfond and Cantor Rachel are here to support you in whatever way we can. We join you in wanting all those who live in Israel to be safe and secure.

We, here, in the Jewish community of the Merrimack Valley are blessed to have many friends in the interfaith and civic communities, along with local police and security authorities. These relationships and alliances remind us that we are not alone, and we can find strength in each other and our broader community.
