“Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.”

Psalm 82:3-4 World English Bible

Reflection

Hatred and discrimination directed toward Jewish communities cause deep harm, fear, and division. When prejudice goes unaddressed, it threatens the security and dignity of everyday citizens. Elected representatives, local council members, and civic figures hold a vital duty to reject hostility and uphold moral clarity. We ask God to give decision-makers courage to oppose antisemitism swiftly and decisively. May civic leaders demonstrate moral strength, protecting every neighbour from hatred and fostering safety, respect, and peace in every town and city.

Prayer

Pray that God would raise up leaders and communities who will stand firmly against antisemitism because it is the right thing to do.
