Regrettably, many synagogues in the United States are political institutions as much as they are religious ones. That makes them fair game for protest. If you don't want political protests in front of your synagogue, don't wrap your Synagogue around apartheid and genocide. Here are some tips & tricks: 1) Don't host auctions or fundraisers for the Jewish National Fund (JNF) at your synagogue. The JNF is deeply involved in the theft of Palestinian-owned land and Israel's illegal occupation of the West Bank. peacenow.org.il/en/jewish-nati… 2) Don't say the Prayer for the State of Israel in Synagogue on Saturday morning. This prayer includes a wish to "adorn them [Israel's leaders] in a mantle of victory." By doing so, you are effectively wishing for the forcible displacement of 2 million Palestinians from Gaza & forever apartheid in the West Bank & forever occupation of Lebanon and Syria. jewishvirtuallibrary.org/prayer-for-the… 3) Don't say the Prayer for the Well-Being of the Israeli Defense Forces in Synagogue on Saturday morning. By singing this prayer, you are effectively endorsing apartheid and genocide. jewishvirtuallibrary.org/prayer-for-the… 4) Don't encourage your congregates to move to Israel, since you are effectively endorsing the foundation of Israel's apartheid legal system which grants the right to Jews to immigrate to Israel, but not Palestinians born there and violently ethnically cleansed from there because they had the wrong DNA. adalah.org/en/law/view/537 Have a nice day and Shabbat Shalom.
