Yitzhak Rabin z'l - 11th Anniversary

11 Years ago, on the 12th day of Cheshvan (November 4th, 1995), The Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated outside a peace rally in Tel Aviv.

“What can I do now to help the people of Israel?”

This is the question each of us is asking as we follow the events unfolding in Israel. We anxiously watch our televisions and computers and we feel the urgent need to demonstrate support for the State of Israel in this moment of crisis. We worry about the 600 NFTY youth in Israel, and what they are learning from this experience. And we mourn the loss of innocent civilian life this conflict is causing on both sides.

Now is the time for us to stand with Israel in solidarity. There is much to be done — and much you can do to show Israel that we care. To help you as you organize efforts in your local communities, NFTY, the Union for Reform Judaism and ARZA have prepared these resources.
