The Newfield Community Church wishes our Jewish neighbors and friends of our community and across the world heartfelt solidarity during this solemn observance of Yom Kippur. We remember with you that this is a day of deep spiritual significance—a time of repentance, reflection, and atonement. We honor the richness of the Jewish tradition and its spiritual practices that call for self-examination and reconciliation, and we stand with you as you seek forgiveness before God. In the face of rising antisemitism and violence, we unequivocally condemn all acts of hatred and aggression against the Jewish people. As you fast and pray, our community will be praying with you for peace—for the peace of Jerusalem, for the safety and well-being of the Jewish community, and for a world renewed by God's justice and mercy. May you be sealed in the Book of Life for a good year, and may the fast conclude with a future of healing and hope.
