USCJ Community Prayer Requests

We are coming together as a community to provide comfort and strength in this dire moment in the history of the State of Israel and Am Yisrael. Please use this form to list anyone affected by the war in Israel that we should pray for as a community. Click here to view the names of those we keep in our prayers.

We stand in solidarity with those who have been kidnapped and their families, and pray for their redemption. And we offer courage and strength for all who are in shelters seeking safety. Our prayers are with the brave defenders in the IDF, Israel’s security forces, and first responders.

The Conservative/Masorti Movement is proud to march with JFNA at the Rally to Support Israel in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, November 14th, Rosh Chodesh Kislev!

Join us as we pray with our hearts and our feet:

For the release of all hostages

In support of Israel and our IDF
