SPIRIT: OU Advocacy Urgent Community Briefing; Engaging with your elected officials

OU Advocacy Urgent Community Briefing;

Engaging with your elected officials

As you know, over Simchas Torah 5784 in the early hours of the morning, Hamas launched an unprecedented attack on Israel, killing unknown numbers of civilians and soldiers and taking hostages into Gaza. In addition to tefillah and tzedakah, we can ensure that America is there to support Israel in its time of extreme need.  We will conduct briefings with OU community members across all age demographics, encouraging you to engage with your local elected officials in Washington, D.C. We will host a briefing next Tuesday outlining how to engage your elected officials.

Presented by Jason Grossman
