A Message about the Bondi Beach Shooting
THEY WANT US TO FEAR.
That’s not going to happen.
The 15 Jews martyred in Sydney are a cross-section of the Jewish world: Two rabbis. A Ukrainian survivor of the Holocaust. A pre-Bat Mitzvah girl. An Israeli. And ten others. All killed for the “crime” of being Jewish in public.
There are no words to express our shock, anger, and grief at this vicious and hateful turn of events, because you know them all anyway, because they’ve all been said before, again and again and again.
What I will say is this: We are not leaving. We are not cowering. We are not giving up our identity. We are who we are, as we’ve been for millennia, and will be – G?d willing – for millennia more.
We are an eternal people, and we will survive.
Deal with it.
-Neal Ross Attinson

Social Action and Community Outreach
Meal deliveries to the home-bound through S.O.S. (Sonoma Overnight Support)
We still have an immediate need (which has increased in Sonoma) to deliver meals. The delivery takes about one hour + once a week or as often as you would like to volunteer. Some people volunteer each week, others every other week, or once a month, and others when they can. All are needed. With questions or to get more information contact: Barbara Sachs Senn ( Social Action Committee) at [email protected]
Sunday Supper for H.A.S. (Homeless Action Sonoma)
Every other month members of Shir Shalom gather in Burlingame Hall on a Sunday afternoon to prepare and then deliver a family style meal for H.A.S. For more information on this please reach out to Lee Wanetik at [email protected].
