TOUCHING THE
LIVES OF ISRAELIS

Strengthening KBY congregations makes progressive Judaism more accessible to the vast majority of Israelis who yearn for an alternative to the orthodox approach to Judaism.

STRENGTHENING
THE JEWISH STATE

Contributing to KBY makes a positive statement to Israel about the value, validity and authenticity of progressive Judaism by strengthening and empowering the 50+ Reform and Conservative kehillot in Israel.

May all the children of Israel be safe in the hands of God. Bless all of the brave soldiers fighting to protect and defend the people of Israel. May peace flood the world forever.

________________________________________________

To families of soldiers,
I hope all is well or will be soon. War is hard I can only imagine. I give every one in Israel my love and whatever help I can.

________________________________________________

I pray for all peace in Israel and for a resolution at some point in the near future. I worry about what all young Israelis are going through. I hope all Israelis will be safe and become more comfortable in their rightful homeland. I pray for all of you and think of you.

________________________________________________

Dear Families of IDF Soldiers,
I pray everyday for your courageous children that they stay safe and return to you. You are very brave for releasing your children into the army. They are fighting for every Jew in the world. We all cherish and love your children.

________________________________________________

Dear Children of Israel,
I pray that Israel eventually will gain peace between all the nations. Also that the bombing will calm down and everyone will be safe.

________________________________________________

I pray for peace in Israel and hope for an end to the violence. I pray that an end to the killings will be soon and without much bloodshed.

________________________________________________

To anyone affected by the recent tragedies,
I give my deepest regards and I am hoping with all my heart that everything will be resolved and turn out ok.

________________________________________________

I pray for the people in Israel and their families and friends. I pray for Israel and the preople in it to be safe and for the war to stop. I pray for fighting to stop and peace in Israel.

________________________________________________

I pray for no more death. I pray that with no more death, all of the families can live in peace and happiness.

________________________________________________

We pray for the day when peace can happen in Israel and the neighboring countries. We also pray for the families of those killed in rocked and bomb attacks of combat deaths. We pray for safety of all soldiers and Israelis fighting in and affected by the war.

________________________________________________

We pray for the safety of all of the Israeli soldiers who put their lives on the line for the one thing that remains rightfully theirs: Israel. We pray for Gilad Shalit who has been unjustly ripped from his home and been taken prisoner in the hands of our enemies. WE pray for the safety of all who fight for the independence of our country.

________________________________________________

I pray that the present situation in Israel will be resolved peacefully.

________________________________________________

I pray that the current situation in Israel goes away and that the terrorist groups leave Israel alone and that Israel is at peace with its borders.

________________________________________________

I hope Israel arrives at peace.

________________________________________________

After just returning eight days in Israel, I came away with an amazing experience and understanding of Israel. I realize how important Israel is to the existence of the worldwide Jewish community. I pray that Israel makes it out stronger and more as one united Jewish community throughout the world. After all that Israel has gone through since 1948 alone they deserve peace and safety ­ a luxury that they have not been able to have or enjoy for very long. May Israel be safe and stop Hezbollah soon to continue Israel’s place in the world.

________________________________________________

I pray that the fighting will end. I wish people will stop killing and committing suicide. The bloodshed should stop.

________________________________________________

I pray for peace and an end to the days of war and death. People of convictions should not have to die. I mourn the deaths of our honored fallen.

________________________________________________

To the People of Israel:
We know how difficult things are getting right now, and all of you are in our thoughts and prayers. We are all praying for the safety of the soldiers and citizens fighting in or affected by the war. You are a strong country and a role model to other nations.

________________________________________________

I pray for everyone who is risking their lives and fighting for the safety and protection of others ­ may they have all the strength and dignity in the world.

________________________________________________

I pray that the war will end soon because people are risking their lives so other people can be safe. I want there to be peace and safety in my heritage’s homeland, and I’m sure it will happen soon enough if we wait it out long enough.
