Urge Congress to Oppose Efforts to Block Arms Sale to Israel TAKE ACTION
As rockets rain down on Israelis, resolutions to block a proposed U.S. arms sale to Israel are expected to be introduced in both the House and Senate today.
This sale has been approved by the Biden administration. Blocking this sale would reward Hamas’s strategy, weaken America and Israel, and increase civilian casualties in a future conflict.
The U.S. must continue to stand with Israel. The arms in question are crucial to ensuring Israel can protect itself from future threats posed by Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran.
Please contact your members of Congress and strongly urge them to oppose any attempt to block the arms sale to our ally and partner Israel.
In these times of crisis, our hearts are with Israel and the Jewish Nation more than ever, כעם אחד בלב אחד -- as one nation with one heart. Take Action for Israel

Updated Mask Guidelines for those attending services at Torat Emet Masks are optional on the floor of the main sanctuary. This is based on current CDC guidelines. Masks will be required in the 6-foot distanced areas at the back of the sanctuary and in the balcony. If you are not vaccinated or are immunocompromised, we strongly suggest that you wear a mask and sit in one of these two areas. Hand washing is still required when you enter the shul.
