Support For Israel
Once in a while, a glimmer of hope for the future emerges from the darkness: The following was reported on numerous Israeli
websites:
In the wake of the deadly shooting attack at a synagogue in Denmark last week, a group of Norwegian Muslims
intends to hold an anti-violence demonstration at an Oslo synagogue this coming weekend by forming a “peace ring”
around the building. One of the event organizers, 17-year-old Hajrad Arshad, explained that the intention was to
make a clear statement that Muslims don’t support anti-Semitism.
Tanach Shiur
More than 800 people have signed up on a Facebook page called Frendens Ring, or Friendship Ring, to participate in
the gesture on Saturday. “We think that after the terrorist attacks in Copenhagen, it is the perfect time for us Muslims
to distance ourselves from the harassment of Jews that is happening,” Arshad told the Norwegian Broadcasting
Corporation NRK in an interview cited by The Local News website on Tuesday. She noted that the group aimed to
“extinguish the prejudices people have against Jews and against Muslims.”
CPR
A CPR course will be given in the Shul on
March 8th or 12th at a cost of $79.
Contact David Welcher, 295-7778
The demonstration drew praise from the local Jewish community. Ervin Kohn, a leader of Oslo’s Jewish community,
said the synagogue had agreed to allow the event on the condition that at least 30 people turn up to help form a ring
around the building, which is located on Bergstien Street in the Norwegian capital. “I’ve said that if it only comes to
30, it won’t be good, it may seem counterproductive,” he said. “But if you fill Bergstien, it will be very good.”
Dinner Journal Ads
If you're interested in helping the shul
get journal ads for our annual dinner,
please contact Lisa Fishbein, Simone
Greenbaum or Jay Fuchs.
Arshad promoted the initiative as an event on Facebook, and by Wednesday morning over 630 people had indicated
that they would attend. “Islam is about protecting our brothers and sisters, regardless of which religion they belong
to,” the event page explains. “Islam is about rising above hate and never sinking to the same level as the haters. Islam
is about defending each other.”
Another of the activists behind the drive wrote in an English-language comment on the event’s page that “if anyone
wants to commit violence in the name of Islam you will have to go through us Muslims first.”
We are looking for members to make small,
senior friendly mishloach manot packages to
be distributed on Purim Day to the residents
of Long Island Hebrew Living Center.
The unity demonstration comes after a shooting attack Saturday that saw Omar El-Hussein, a 22-year-old Dane of
Palestinian extraction, shoot dead a filmmaker in Copenhagen before killing Dan Uzan, a Jewish man who
volunteered as a guard at the city’s main synagogue.
For more info, contact Nancy Schoenfeld at
[email protected] or cell # 516-209-7773
Please let her know how many packages you
will be making as soon as possible.
We are also looking for children and adults
alike to help with the distribution on Purim
Day.
