What happened to the people in Israel has deeply affected us — as Jews, as mothers, as daughters, and as humans. The atrocities that took place are hard to imagine and extremely painful to put into words. We have family and friends in Israel who were directly impacted by the terroristic acts of Hamas. Our hearts ache.

Hamas has now shared propaganda calling for violence against Jewish communities around the world, specifically tomorrow on October 13. We encourage you to exercise increased vigilance over the next days. Report any suspicious activities IMMEDIATELY to 311 or 911. Our best advice: follow your instincts.

We are thankful for support other communities in Austin have shown the Jewish community over the past days. 🙏

Our hearts go out to families in Jacksonville. This was a hate crime, committed by a racist shooter who targeted Black people and had a sw****ka carved into his weapon. We’ve long said that hate unchecked only grows, and we’re saddened at this latest incident that claimed three lives.
