As I write this lengthy letter, my wife, Irene, and I are preparing to leave Boston on August 3rd for Israel. Our initial reason for the trip was to celebrate the wedding of the son of our intimate friends. Now we’ll travel also as an expression of our solidarity with our brothers and sisters who are forced yet again to fight for the right to live in their own land, free from terror. We pray that our people will be protected from harm and that the day will come soon when it is no longer necessary for them to resort to force in order to defend their children, their land and the Jewish future. I look forward to sharing our stories with you upon our return. My clergy colleagues, Cantor Einhorn and Rabbis Zecher, Morrison and Kolin join me both in this correspondence and in wishing you the very best for the rest of the summer.L’shalom,
Rabbi Ronne Friedman
