Just a few minutes ago at Mincha services in the Upper School, I spoke to the entire student body about the crisis in Israel and its implications for all of us in America.

If you listen to the recording you will note that I essentially read to them an article written on the spur of the moment yesterday by Dr. Daniel Gordis. I believe it made a very big impact on the students. I hope it will have a similar impact on you. 

I just spoke with Malcolm Hoenlein, Executive Vice President of the Presidents Conference in order to ask him what we can do to help. He suggested that we all watch and listen to as much media as possible and alert the Presidents Conference if we hear or see Israel maligned or described unfairly. Examples of such treatment should be sent to info@conferenceofpresidents.org. They will immediately contact the media source to correct the information and the perspective.

Thank You,
