A message on Israel

There are no words to express the disbelief and sadness for what is happening in Israel following the devastating attacks that began on October 7th. We, theJewish Federation of Upstate SC employees and our Board of Directors, STAND WITH ISRAEL, our Jewish brothers and sisters, and mourn the lives needlessly lost.

While the living hostages have returned home. There is still much work to do and healing to come. Our Jewish people are hurting here, in Israel, and worldwide. The outcry for support of the Jewish people must be separated from opinions on Israel’s leadership and politics.  

I have had many discussions with our Jewish community organization leaders, and we are UNITED in supporting our Jewish community during this difficult time.
