The Toronto Board of Rabbis is devastated by the horrific attack on our brothers and sisters in Israel this past weekend. We grieve for the horrific loss of life. We pray for the safety of IDF soldiers and for all civilians. We pray for the strength of Israeli forces to repel Hamas’ brutal attack and to take all measures to prevent and avoid the killing of any more innocent civilians in Israel and in Gaza. We pray for the safe return of all hostages to their homes and families.
