Secure Jewish Buffalo Fund
WE STILL URGENTLY NEED YOUR HELP.
The timing is crucial. With the onslaught of yet another hate-driven anti-Semitic attack on our people, the Buffalo Jewish community cannot be silent. We will not forget about Pittsburgh and now Poway, and be lured into a false sense of security. That is why – THE TIME IS NOW – to continue to raise the funds necessary to address immediate security needs and efforts to ensure a more secure Jewish Buffalo. |
Show Solidarity by Doing a Mitzvah for Poway
Little Light Dispels A Lot of Darkness
Cold-blooded, fanatical hatred can only be uprooted by filling our world with pure, undiscriminating love and acts of kindness. We must teach this to all our children, in our schools and our homes.Even as we grieve, we must increase exponentially our acts of goodness and kindness. As Rabbi Goldstein said just moments after the attack: “We are going to stand tall, we are going to stand proud of our heritage. If a little light can dispel a lot of darkness, than many lights can truly illuminate the whole world.” Please click HERE to do your Mitzvah. |
