A Message from Rabbi Bellows

May 24, 2026/8 Sivan 5786

Dear Friends,

On this Memorial Day weekend, we give pause to remember those who gave their lives in defense of the American ideals of liberty and justice for all.

We remember with gratitude those whose courage came at great cost. We pray for the families who carry both pride and sorrow, for all who continue to bear the wounds of war, and for a world where peace will no longer require sacrifice.

May the memories of the fallen be for a blessing.

May their lives inspire us to pursue justice, compassion, and peace.

And may the Holy One spread over us, over our nation, and over all humanity, the shelter of shalom.

Rabbi Bellows
