Taking Action
Dear friends and members,
At this time, when our brothers, sisters, friends, and family in Israel are facing unprecedented challenges and violence, it is crucial that we stand in solidarity with them. We, as a united Jewish community, have an opportunity to make our voices heard and advocate for the support and security of Israel.
We have prepared a letter which you can send to the White House and to your U.S. Senators and Representatives, urging them to take a strong and unwavering stance in support of Israel. We encourage you to copy and paste the letter at the bottom of this page—modifying it as you see fit—and send it to your elected officials.
By participating in this collective effort, we can demonstrate our commitment to Israel. Together, we can ensure that the voices of our community are heard by those in positions of power and influence.

Letter to Copy and Paste:
Dear [Recipient’s Title and Last Name],
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the violence waged against Israel by the terrorist group, Hamas, and I believe it is imperative for our elected officials to take a strong and unequivocal stand in support of Israel.
It is crucial to acknowledge that Israel, like any sovereign nation, has the inherent right to defend itself from acts of terrorism and aggression. The indiscriminate firing of thousands of rockets toward Israeli cities and the infiltration of militants into Israeli territory are clear violations of Israel’s security and sovereignty.
The murder of innocent Israeli and U.S. citizens, including women, children, and the elderly–and the taking of hostages, particularly children and the elderly, by Hamas, are abhorrent acts that cannot be tolerated. This situation demands immediate international attention and condemnation.
I urge you, as my elected representative, to use your platform and influence to advocate for unwavering support for Israel, including military assistance. I expect you to stand firmly with Israel and condemn acts of terrorism against it. Our nation must continue to provide unwavering support to Israel, including military assistance, in its efforts to protect its citizens and ensure its security.
The United States has a long-standing relationship with Israel, based on shared values and interests. As your constituent, I believe it is our moral obligation to stand by our allies in their time of need.
I appreciate your attention to this matter and trust that you will represent our concerns effectively in your capacity. I look forward to hearing about your actions on this critical issue.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
