With hearts full of grief, we stand with our Jewish brothers and sisters all across America as we mourn the murder of 11 members of Pittsburgh’s Jewish community. Words cannot sufficiently convey the depth of our heartbreak upon learning a man fueled by vile anti-Semitic hatred burst into a sacred place of worship and attacked families as they prayed, leading to the death of 11 people and injuring multiple others.
Now is the time to pray for our friends, to reach out personally with words of comfort and love, and to visibly stand with them against the anti-Semitic poison that fueled this attack. Christians United for Israel was created for such a time as this. This is the moment when we are deeply needed by our friends, and our voices must be heard in this nation. We will not tolerate any threats against the Jewish community, and anyone who attacks them must know that millions of Christians are willing to stand between the Jews and their enemies. To attack one of us is to attack all of us.
Our prayers are with the grieving families of those whose lives were lost, the injured who must live with the physical scars of this event, and every Jewish brother or sister who is in pain and fear today. May they know how much we love them, and may they be comforted by our voices speaking out as one united declaration against anti-Semitism and the hateful violence it spawns.
