One thing as an American Jew I would like to say about Israel is, Next Winter in January of 2003, I will currently be going to Israel for my brothers Barmitzvah.

To my brothers and sisters in Israel,
May Hashem (Blessed Be He) bring solace and strength to each of you in this dark hour of hatred and vengeance.  
May it be the Mitzvot of every Diaspora Jew to come to your aid in any and all ways possible.
As a professional counselor, musician, teacher and servant of the Master Of The Universe, I seek the wisdom He may provide me in reaching out to you.

Our hearts are with all of you who are in Israel. I just came back a few weeks ago from an OU Mission and I now have a much better appreciation of what you're all going through. With Hashem's help and your courage, this will all work out for the long-term best for Israel and all Jews worldwide.

Texas, USA
My prayers are with you all.
My heart grieves for Israel and our Creator's people.
Please know you are thought about, prayed for, and that I watch and listen to what is happening in Israel each day.
May our Creator continually watch over Israel and keep you all in His Safety.

I know that the Lord will take care of Israel in their time of need. Please know that we in America, many of us, who heard of times of pogroms and know of the inquisition; know how brave all of you are and that fighting for Israel is fighting for all of us to have a home and we sincerely appreciate and devote our prayers and blessings to all of you. We hope for peace and prosperity for the nation of Israel and we are with you in spirit as long as the fight goes on. We do not despair; please do not despair.

I want there to be peace in Israel because it's not right to see in the newspapers all the killings that been going on and I want to go back to Israel to move there, with Hashem's help.

Jerry (Chaim) Saunders, a participant on the OU Solidarity Mission, has put his journal into the form of a series of web-pages that will, with a few adjustments, appear on his synagogue's site next week. Take a look.

Please use propaganda to show the world that Jewish people want the world to be at peace not war and explain how many Jews live in the world and were they are living against all other communities and religions

NJ, USA
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during these terrible times. We can only hope that the end of these problems are in sight and the "evil" people will be exposed for who they truly are. Yasher Koach!!

Friends in Israel: Our hearts, our thoughts and our tefillot are with you. Please understand that we are trying our best to support you by monitoring what our newspapers and other media write, by sending emails and faxes to our President and other politicians, and by urging our friends to visit you (as I have recently) as often as possible. 
We're in this together, just as Jews throughout history have had only each other to stand with them. Sheb'chol dor vador. . . veHakadosh Baruch Hu matzileinu miyadam!

When I was in Israel just a couple of weeks ago, my friends asked me if asked people in America were still talking about September 11. I tried to convey to them that it is the subject of conversation every day here, and that the newspapers and TV stations are still full of it, all the time. If they do not understand how much we in the USA are dwelling on September 11, I am sure that we here do not understand how much the current violence affects the lives of people there. I urge everyone who possibly can to travel to Israel now. Spend Pesach in Israel, go for a week, a few days. It means so much to them.

USA
My heart is saddened everyday that I read that another Jew has died under the deluge of terrorists. Everyday, I pray and ask myself what can I do to ease the suffering of my fellow Jews?

New York, USA
Each day as I listen to and read the news from Israel, I try to think about the family that has lost another loved one, or whose lives have been so dramatically changed because someone has been wounded. But I have the feeling that to most people, the violence has become commonplace---something that we expect to learn about day after day, just another statistic. What can we do to make sure that people realize what is going on?

United States
I found participating in the OU Solidarity Mission a deeply moving experience.  It was great tour, which makes me want to go back again soon, and I'll recommend the OU's future missions to others as well.
Sincerely yours,

I am an American living in Australia that wishes to converse with Israelis on the current events in the region.
