Do not stand idly by
Do not stand idly by while your neighbor’s blood is being shed- Lev 19:16
There is something we can do; Contribute to the organizations on the ground aiding the victims of war. Choose from among many humanitarian groups trying to ease the suffering. Consider a donation to Doctors without Borders; HIAS, JDC, World Central Kitchen. Everything helps, no amount is too small. Thank you.
