5785-2024/5

שנה טובה ומתוקה

As we approach the High Holidays, a time for reflection and renewal with the welcoming of 5785, we wish everyone a Shanah Tovah U’Metuka - a good and sweet New Year!

Despite the upcoming celebrations, our hearts are heavy this year as we count only days to the one-year anniversary of the horrors of October 7th and as we listen to the reports and watch the footage of the extreme challenges that Israel’s citizens continue to face on every border. Currently, Israel is under a direct attack from Iran and its territories. The Israel Defense Forces in conjunction with the United States and other allies is defending the Jewish homeland.

Israel’s soldiers are fighting against these ongoing existential challenges with peerless bravery. We stand in solidarity with our Jewish brethren from all over the world, and vow to continue to advocate on behalf of those still held hostage by Hamas. We reaffirm our commitment to support Israel at every opportunity, and pledge to fight against anti-Semitism wherever it is found.

We believe as does President Donald Trump in peace through strength. We thank you, all our Jewish and non-Jewish members, for working so hard to support our Republican Presidential candidate, the most pro-Israel President in United States history! To join Jewish Voices for Trump of the National Federation of Republican Women, Julie Harris, President, contact jvt@nfrw.org.

We must remain united and vigilant. We will dance again! G-d Bless America! Am Yisrael Chai!

Warmly,

Ann Schockett
Former NFRW President, NFRW Program Chair, Advisor to the President, Jewish Voices for Trump Chair
