We at Federation are committed to ensuring that Greater MetroWest NJ remains a community where we all feel welcome and safe to practice our Judaism as we wish. We’re encouraging everyone to go to shul this weekend to participate in the nationwide Solidarity Shabbat, coming together across denominations to pray, to mourn, and to strengthen one another. Shabbat was taken from the Jews of the Squirrel Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh by a hateful, anti-Semitic act of violence. Let’s come together to reclaim Shabbat in the name of love and to show solidarity with those who are mourning the loss of their family and friends in Pittsburgh.
