We are Heartbroken 

As a foundation rooted in the Jewish principle of Tikkun Olam, which positions justice as a pathway to repair the world, we are horrified and heartbroken by Hamas’s terrorist atrocities against innocent Israeli civilians. We mourn the lives lost in this murderous rampage, pray for a swift release of all hostages, and condemn all forms of hate and violence. 

While this is a dark and difficult time, we remain hopeful and steadfast in our support of partners working to systemically advance racial, economic, and environmental justice in Israel-Palestine. 

We know the road to peace and justice in the region is a long one. As we support that journey as a diverse and multiracial collective, we are united by our commitment to our values. We stand in solidarity with our partners and all those who share them.

Staying true to our value of listening and learning, we updated this statement on October 11 based on new developments and understanding from our community.
