A Heartfelt Call

4 Tishrei 5761 -- October 3, 2000

The following statement was issued by the Moetzes Gedolei Torah of the Agudath Israel of America:

A Heartfelt Call

Our brethren in the Holy Land are in a terrible crisis. Our enemies who claim the Jewish homeland for themselves have now risen in conspiracy to spill Jewish blood like water. It is thus incumbent on us to arouse Divine Mercy during these Days of Mercy and pour forth our words of supplication before Hashem that no harm befall His children.

We must all come to full recognition that the physical security of our people is based on the well-being of the Jewish neshama. Heaven forfend that any steps be taken to tamper with the sacred precincts of the Jewish People and the houses of Torah study in the land Hashem has chosen as His dwelling place.

We beseech our Heavenly Father to have mercy on the remnants of His people; may we merit to return to Him with sincerity and a complete heart. "Guardian of Israel, protect the remnant of Israel; let not Israel be destroyed -- those who proclaim `Shma Yisroel -- Hear O Israel.'"

With longing for salvation, and with blessings for a gmar chasima tova.

Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah Council of Torah Sages of Agudath Israel of America
