The Eden Area Interfaith Council is saddened by the continued rising climate of anti-Jewish hatred and
violence here in the United States and around the world. The attack last week on a synagogue in Texas is the most recent manifestation of a concerning trend, which we recently observed locally.
No one should be afraid of entering their own place of worship or peaceful gathering.
The Eden Area Interfaith Council decries any form of violence or armed struggle inside a house of worship.
We stand in solidarity with our Jewish brothers and sisters and condemn in the strongest terms the
threats and acts of violence directed towards the Jewish community.
In response, we acknowledge that it is our responsibility as people of faith to learn about the manifestations of antisemitism
and to take action against it in any forms, especially in our faith and local communities, and our need to continue to speak up for better mental health care, crisis services, and more engagement with those at risk of ideological violence.
