Shavua Tov! What a great night we had celebrating 'Havdalah Under the Stars' at the Discovery Center Planetarium in Bridgeport. We welcomed in the new week under the sky of Jerusalem. Thank you to the Women of Reform Judaism for awarding us with a microgrant so that we could make this event happen. It was wonderful to be able to have some of our WRJ Northeast sisters with us as well.

Women of Reform Judaism CEO Rabbi Liz P.G. Hirsch released the following statement:

Women of Reform Judaism mourns the lives of Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky, two young Israeli Embassy diplomats who were fatally shot outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. They were attending an event focused on Israeli and Palestinian cooperation to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza.

We are grateful to the law enforcement official investigating this act of hatred. May the One Who Makes Peace grant peace and comfort for the families of Sarah and Yaron, and grant us the peace we need here on earth.

We learn from our tradition:
Great is peace, for even in times of war, the hope of peace is undiminished.
Great is peace, for peace is the inheritance of the righteous.
Great is peace, for even heaven needs peace.

If peace is needed in heaven, where neither hatred nor strife is found - how great the need for peace on earth, where hatred and strife abound.
—Sifre BaMidbar 42:2
