Jewish Family Services of Greater Kansas City is hosting a support group Wednesday evening for the local Jewish community. And the Jewish Culture Fest planned for Sunday at the Jewish Community Center will go ahead as planned.
Johnson County leaders and communities have voiced strong support for Israel following a series of deadly attacks carried out by Hamas.
Over the weekend, Hamas — considered a foreign terrorist group by the U.S. State Department — initiated a string of attacks against Israel, sparking a war with the Jewish state. Hundreds have been killed, and thousands have been injured.
Gavriela Geller, executive director of the Jewish Community Relations Bureau in Kansas City | American Jewish Committee, called it “the most horrifying and deadly attack on Israel in the past 50 years.”
“Many people, including myself, have never seen an attack of this scale in our lifetimes,” she said. “This is truly a massacre of Jews on the proportions that have not been seen in many, many years.
