Global Day of Action on Sukkot: Reconciliation, Not Hate!
On Sunday, October 4, people of many diverse backgrounds gathered at King’s Harbor, the Kingwood, Texas location for the Holocaust Garden of Hope, to celebrate Reconciliation Not Hate. We took a stand for Israel and Jewish Life by observing the biblical holiday of Sukkoth, or Feast of Tabernacles. Sukkot (plural of Sukkah, or Tabernacles) were built and decorated (see accompanying pictures), and in the tradition of the holiday we found ways to “dwell” in those booths. One became the stage where music was performed and messages were proclaimed, another covered the registration table and two more were the locations where children and adults participated in the Upstander Stones Project. The March of Remembrance/March of Life Global Day of Action: "Reconciliation, Not Hate" was conceived by the March of Life organization in Germany and people in 70 cities worldwide gathered as we did throughout the day. March of Life founder Jobst Bittner spoke from the event in Germany.

Permit me, just for a moment, to shift the conversation away from the uncertainty that we all feel today, as a result of the coronavirus crisis. Instead, I would like to share with you,
on Israel’s Independence Day, a personal enlightenment that I experienced just two years ago, when my family and I celebrated our first Yom Ha'atzmaut in the United States.
Christian Friends of Israel Rally to Help Jewish State Fight Coronavirus
The number of individuals in Israel diagnosed with the COVID-19 coronavirus rises daily, and pro-Israel Christian organizations have joined the struggle to help contend with the pandemic in the Jewish state. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (IFCJ) has decided to lend a hand in Israel’s fight against the pandemic and approved over the weekend $2 million in special grants to 15 hospitals for respiratory equipment and other lifesaving machinery. Additionally, The IFCJ purchased 20 special testing devices for Magen David Adom (MDA), Israel’s emergency medical response organization. The devices will help the staff test patients and reduce the burden on hospitals, preventing unnecessary contact between Coronavirus patients and their surroundings.
