The scale of the tragedy in Venezuela is difficult to comprehend. Tens of thousands remain missing, each one a beloved family member, friend, or neighbor, while countless others have been displaced and are desperately searching for those they love. We are heartbroken by the devastating earthquakes. As rescuers race against the clock to pull survivors from the rubble, we pray for the swift discovery of the missing, full recovery of the injured, and dignity for those lost. We stand with the Jewish community in Venezuela as they mourn the loss of their loved ones and with the Venezuelan people as they begin the long journey towards recovery and rebuilding.
