May their memories be for a blessing 💔

Through the tireless work of their families and friends, we have come to know the beautiful people behind the label of “hostage” over the last 333 days. We have learned their stories, their hopes, and their dreams. They have become our extended family, and we grieve as one.

Every week we are proud to highlight partner #VoteYourValues events featured in our Community Calendar. Today, we invite you to get involved with The Workers Circle, Temple Sinai DC, NCJWSTL, & check out the calendar for even more opportunities: jewsforabortionaccess.org/jaac-community…
