RABBI'S MESSAGE
Dear Friends,
It is now one
week since Israel's Operation Pillar of Cloud began in response to the heavy
rocket attacks that have been launched by Hamas against Israel's civilian
population over the last several months. It was by all accounts an intolerable
situation. As President Peres said, "The State of Israel and the residents
of the south are under attack....rockets were fired at Israel, civilians were
killed and babies were injured. Children in the south are living under the
threat of falling rockets, they are seized by fear. There is no nation that
loves peace and hates bloodshed like Israel. Our enemies are not the people of
Gaza, our enemies are not the Muslim people. Our enemies are the terrorists who
operate without reason and without thought."
The President stressed
that Israel's hand is outstretched for peace but that Israel will do whatever
is necessary to protect her citizens, "The world is beginning to
understand that we are operating with responsibility and we do not take human
life lightly. I don't know any country that would show restraint for as long as
Israel did during the attacks on the south."
Many of us have
family and friends in Israel and have been calling constantly to check on their
safety and well-being. Following today's bus-bombing in Tel Aviv, I spoke with
my niece, Nadine, who is doing alright, but says that the constant sirens and
running for shelter is stressful. As I said last week in shul, our hearts and
minds are, as always, linked with our people, Am Yisrael, especially now at this
time of war, and we stand united with them. As of this writing a cease-fire was
announced to begin tonight at 9 PM. We pray this cease-fire will hold and bring
a more lasting resolution, putting an end to the cycle of violence. May this
latest battle be one that paves the way for a new path to peace.
Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Ron Aigen
