Support for Israel and the Jewish Community
Genesis 12:1–3
The LORD said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”

Support letters
There are sample letters that are suited for allied community members to send to elected officials. Letters are also available through the CIJA alerts above. The language is adapted for allied communities of the Jewish community.
The letters should speak with your voice, so feel free to add references that are meaningful. For example, solving this crisis is a moral, ethical, and critical obligation that is rooted in being people of peace. Indeed, there is a Biblical value that calls for the release of slaves and prisoners (see Jubilee), also relating to Joseph and Daniel and also in Isaiah 61:1-2: In the Gospels Jesus sites Isaiah and elsewhere calls for compassion and release of prisoners.
