Responding to the conflict in the Middle East: A statement of Jewish values and core principles
Leaders, rabbis and members from across the Jewish community, including Leaders and Rabbis from Manchester Reform Synagogue, have signed a statement of Jewish values and core principles in response to the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
The statement is available to read and sign here – www.ourjewishvalues.org.uk.
It begins: “We are Jews who believe wholeheartedly in the right of Israel to exist and flourish and the right of Palestinians to self-determination in a state of their own. We refuse to give up on the vision of Israel and a Palestinian state one day existing side-by-side. This is the only long-term solution that will not involve untold bloodshed.”
