[Editor’s note 11/1/23: This letter was written and circulated beginning October 20. The number of casualties in Gaza sadly has since risen exponentially, with reports of 8,000 Palestinians — including over 3,000 children — killed. The estimated number of hostages is now approximately 230.]
“A song of ascents. Out of the depths I call You, O ETERNAL. O ETERNAL, listen to my cry; let Your ears be attentive to my plea for mercy.” (Psalm 130:1)
We are North American rabbis, cantors, and rabbinical and cantorial students writing to share our deep grief and pain after the October 7 terrorist attacks in Israel. We stand in solidarity with our Israeli family and friends who are mourning, healing, and defending their homes from continued attacks by Hamas and Hezbollah. We mourn the deaths and suffering of Palestinian civilians in Gaza and in the West Bank. We call for the immediate, safe release of the hostages, and for all parties to follow the laws of armed conflict in order to ensure the safety of Israeli and Palestinian civilians.
On October 7, the terrorist organization Hamas brutally attacked southern Israel, indiscriminately murdering at least 1,400 people — including babies and children, teenagers, and the elderly — and taking approximately 200 people hostage in Gaza. Our hearts have been broken again and again as we have heard stories from the survivors and from the families of those murdered or kidnapped.
We affirm what should not need to be said: Murdering civilians is a war crime, taking civilians hostage is a war crime, and targeting civilians with missiles is a war crime. There is no justification for these acts of terror. We call on all those who believe in the sanctity of human life to join us in affirming these truths.
“God, listen to my cry; let Your ears be attentive to my plea for mercy.” (Psalm 130:2)
Pidyon shevuyim, redeeming captives, is one of the most important mitzvot. Sadly, there is a long history of Jewish communities being forced to practice this mitzvah over the centuries and across continents — from Egypt to Poland to Russia and beyond. We call on Hamas to release the hostages immediately, on Israel to prioritize negotiations for the captives above all else, and on the international community to do everything possible to secure their release.
In the depths of our pain, we also mourn the deaths and suffering of Palestinian civilians and call for immediate action to protect their lives. Roughly half of all Gazans are children under the age of 18. Already, thousands of Palestinian civilians, including hundreds of children, have died in Israeli airstrikes, and hundreds of thousands more have been injured or displaced, or are suffering from lack of access to critical supplies. Humanitarian groups are warning of imminent catastrophe as Gazans run out of water, food, fuel, and medical supplies because of the siege. We are grateful to President Biden and other world leaders who are working to ensure the entry of humanitarian relief into Gaza.
We call for the immediate establishment of a humanitarian corridor so that critical supplies can enter Gaza. Gazans must also be guaranteed that they will be allowed to return to their homes after the present conflict ends. At all times, Israel must follow the laws of armed conflict in order to avoid harm to civilians. Hamas’s war crimes do not justify further war crimes or collective punishment.
We are deeply concerned about the reverberations of this war in the region, at home, and around the world. We reject all antisemitic, Islamophobic, or anti-Arab bigotry and violence and call on our communities to do the same.
We call for an end to incitement by Israeli politicians and public figures against Palestinian citizens of Israel and Israel human rights organizations. We call on Israel to prevent further revenge attacks by settlers on Palestinians in the West Bank, and to refrain from using the war with Hamas as an excuse to extend settlements and occupation.
“I look to the ETERNAL; my soul looks; I await [God’s] word.” (Psalm 130:5)
In this bleak moment, we are inspired by the extraordinary response of Israeli civil society — including both Jewish and Palestinian citizens, religious and secular people, and people of multiple political allegiances — who directly saved lives after Hamas attacked, and who have since organized housing and supplies for the displaced, an operation to locate captives, and joint Jewish-Arab civilian patrols to ensure that there are no clashes in mixed cities. We value their example as we struggle to turn our pain into positive action and not to lose sight of our vision for a shared society.
“O Israel, wait for the ETERNAL; for with the ETERNAL is steadfast love and great power to redeem.” (Psalm 130:7)
We look to our communities and our tradition for the strength we need today and in the coming days, weeks, months and years. We know that the only way to ensure the safety, dignity, and flourishing of both Israelis and Palestinians is a just, negotiated political solution that protects the human rights and political self-determination of both peoples.
The safety of Palestinians and Israelis is inextricably linked. By signing this letter, we publicly recommit to the long, hard work of bringing about a better future for everyone in the region.
