Dear Friends,
At this time of crisis in Israel and in the Jewish world, I share with you Psalms and Prayers that are appropriate to recite and offer at this time. The selection of Psalms addresses common thoughts, feelings and hopes. The prayers include the prayer for Israel, a prayer for the Israel Defense Forces, a prayer for those who are missing or captive, a prayer for Israel at a time of anguish and a prayer for all of the victims (Jews and Palestinians and people of other nationalities and races.)
We hope that these psalms and prayers will serve as a resource to you during these stressful times.
I know we all join in praying for a good resolution to this crisis, a resolution that brings the hostages home and improves life for all residents of the region.

To accomplish our mission, B’nai Zion establishes educational, cultural, religious, social, and recreational activities that further the cause and objectives of Conservative Judaism. These include sustaining a culture of lifelong Jewish learning and encouraging the next generation of leaders through education and vibrant programming that inspire a sense of Jewish identity and Jewish community.
