The Jewish Federation of Greater Indianapolis is asking for continued prayers and support. After learning about Hammas attacking Israel on Saturday, they say many people are still left in shock.
"This is extremely personal to us. It is something that we would never have expected human beings would do to other human beings," said Helen Kurlander Goldstein, the president of the board of directors for the Jewish Federation of Indianapolis."There is not a single Jewish person in this community that doesn’t have a friend or family member or know someone who’s in Israel."
"To make it clear I stand with Israel because of them saving my life," said Vincent Edwards via a Zoom call from Greece. “I can't find the words to explain what my country has been through the past two days. Innocent people were murdered and kidnapped to Gaza. These monsters holding and abusing women, mothers with their toddlers, kids and elderly. Families looking for their love ones who are still missing. We lost many soldiers in the war. We lost more than 800 innocent civilians.
