WLCJ Issues Statement of Solidarity and Support Following Joint US-Israel Military Actions in Iran

As the United States and Israel undertake ongoing military actions in Iran, Women’s League for Conservative Judaism (WLCJ) expresses its unwavering support for the safety of American and Israeli armed forces, the people of Israel, and all civilians who are in harm’s way. We stand behind efforts to safeguard the Israeli people and to promote security and stability throughout the region.

As we approach Purim, we recall the thwarting of those in ancient Persia who sought to destroy the Jewish people. Today, the Iranian regime has repeatedly made “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” its refrain. We pray that, as in the time of Esther, the outcome of the current military engagement will help bring about a future in which this enduring threat is removed and Israel can live in peace and harmony with its neighbors.

WLCJ offers its support and solidarity to our sisters around the world during these tense times, to those sheltering in Israel, those anxiously awaiting news of family and friends, and those experiencing heightened insecurity beyond the region. WLCJ is, first and foremost, a sisterhood. We are here to hold space for our members’ concerns and to support one another.

We pray for the physical safety, security, and emotional well-being of all who are affected by this conflict: the people of Israel, our sisters, military personnel, and civilians throughout the region. We pray for a swift and secure resolution, and for a lasting peace to ultimately blanket the region.

With prayers for peace and safety,
Julia Loeb
WLCJ International President
