We stand mute in the wake of the horrific fury unleashed upon the people of Moore, Oklahoma. We are powerless in the face of randomness of such natural disasters. Yet we do have the power to mobilize our human energies to help those who have lost so much in this tragedy. We pray for the people of Oklahoma, that they may find the strength and perseverance to recover after this awful event.
The Union for Reform Judaism is accepting donations to assist in the wake of the deadly tornado in Oklahoma. The URJ will allocate funding received to agencies on the ground that are best equipped to respond to this disaster. We’re also working closely with our congregations in the affected region to assure the safety of their congregants, their neighbors, and their structures and to determine next steps in relief work.
At this time, the URJ is collecting monetary donations, and will distribute them to the American Red Cross and others on the ground in Oklahoma. As other needs arise, perhaps including volunteers to assist with the clean-up and rebuilding, the URJ will help.
To make a donation online visit http://urj.org/socialaction/issues/relief/ .Checks can be sent to the Union for Reform Judaism (Attn: Oklahoma Tornado Relief), 633 Third Ave., New York, NY 10017 or to the Canadian Council for Reform Judaism, 3845 Bathurst St. Suite 301, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M3H 3N2.

Dear Friends:

It will provide all the rabbis and temple officers with much needed support for our older adults. I have inserted the announcement from the JBFCS below. We will be talking more about it in the coming months.
