Awful news coming out of Israel this morning on Shabbat and the holiday of Simchat Torah. My thoughts are with those ordinary, innocent people, no doubt on their way to synagogue this morning being attacked for nothing more than being Jewish.

What should have been a day of joyful celebration - as Jews in the UK, Israel and around the world mark Simchat Torah – has instead become a day of mourning, horror, fear and sadness. (1/5)

A reminder that this heinous act of terrorism and Jew-hatred took place on Shabbat and Simchat Torah. We are meant to be celebrating the end of annual reading of the Torah, not hiding in bomb shelters.

While thousands of Jews were heading to synagogues and gatherings to celebrate Shabbat and the festival of Simchat Torah, Hamas terrorists launched a cruel attack on cities. Israel is under attack, and in Miami we stand by its side. Blessed be the name of Israel!

Israel was attacked today on a holiday, Simchat Torah, that is meant to be the most joyous day of the year. Instead, it has been a day of tragedy--a day of death and terror. The Israel death count is more than double the deaths on 9/11 corrected for population. I do not know 1/

Today is Simchat Torah, the joyous holiday where Jews celebrate scrolling the Torah back to the beginning and reading it all over again. Today, we also celebrate as Palestinians roll back 75 years of Zionist colonial occupation and open a new chapter in the history of Palestine.
