The hostage incident today at Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, Texas causes us all grave concern. We remain in solidarity with our fellow Jews everywhere, are grateful to law enforcement professionals, & pray for a peaceful end to this sad and frightening act of terror.
2/2 On this day when we celebrate the life and legacy of MLK, who chose courage over fear in the face of oppression, ignorance, and violence, we stand strong in our resolve. We condemn this hateful antisemitic vandalism. There is no place for hate in a civil society.
1/2 Earlier today, January 18, 2021, a vandal defaced a small area on the outside of our historic sanctuary with antisemitic graffiti. Law enforcement authorities have responded and are conducting a thorough investigation. Our campuses remain secure and well protected. >>
