Rabbis have led prayers of peace as war raged in Gaza.
Jews in communities far from Israel have gathered at synagogues this weekend for their first Shabbat services since Hamas militants attacked Israel, igniting an ongoing war.One US rabbi based in Pittsburgh said the deadly Hamas attack is not just another geopolitical event for Jewish people – it is dredging up generations of visceral trauma, especially in a city scarred by the deadliest antisemitic attack in US history.
Rabbi Fellman preached on the biblical story of the first murder – that of Abel by his brother Cain – and urged an understanding that all people are siblings, including Jews, Christians and Muslims. Rabbi Daniel Fellman prayed for the safety of the state of Israel, for peace, and said a memorial prayer for those killed and missing after Hamas’ attack
“One of the things that many of us are feeling right now is that we are not feeling that embrace. We are really a community in pain and we don’t feel support.” At Berlin’s Chabad community in Berlin’s Wilmersdorf neighbourhood, the street leading to the synagogue and adjacent community centre was blocked to traffic. Police and private security service patrolled on the pavement as congregants arrived at the house of worship.
