Please join my family and I as we express our support for Israel during this scary time. In addition to sending words of support to people we know in Israel and to davening to our Creator to help restore peace in the region, it is also important to come together in person. And so we will gather in Post Office square in Sharon tonight at 6:00 PM  to 1) show solidarity with one another and with our peace loving family and friends in Israel and to 2) stand tall for the state of Israel and its right to defend herself. Come with Israeli flags and/or signs with peaceful rhetoric. 

See you soon,
Rabbi Cheses
