Statement of Support
Beth Israel Congregation affirms our continued wholehearted support for all efforts undertaken by the
governments of Israel and the Palestinian people to produce a lasting and secure peace based upon
the "two state solution". We pray that these efforts will lead these two peoples further down
the path of peace. We support all efforts by Israel and her neighbors to produce a cessation of
violence and to lay the framework for peace through negotiation and appropriate compromise in an
atmosphere of mutual respect and recognition. May we see the day when all people in the
Middle East and throughout the world will live in security and peace.
