Yahweh is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Yahweh is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?

Psalm 27:1 World English Bible

Reflection

Fear takes a heavy toll when Jewish communities experience targeted hostility and historical shadows re-emerge. Security in local neighbourhoods and places of worship is essential for everyone to live without dread. Leaders and law enforcement require wisdom to uphold justice, protect vulnerable citizens, and confront hate wherever it surfaces. We ask God to bring comfort to hurting families, surround vulnerable communities with protection, and instil courage in civic leaders to uphold safety, neighbourly peace, and mutual respect for all.

Prayer

Pray for those enduring the pain of antisemitism around the world. Lift up these families who live in fear that history might repeat itself.
