Re: With a little help from our friends (June 5)

I want to thank the JV for the article featuring the recent pro-Israel event co-sponsored by SWU-RI and CUFI RI. My husband, Irving, was one of the speakers and, from the moment we crossed the threshold, we were enveloped with a spirit of kindness, helpfulness and generosity.

As the wife of a Holocaust survivor and the daughter of Holocaust survivors, I was heartened by the moral clarity and steadfast support demonstrated by these Christians who are undaunted in their campaign to support Israel and the Jewish people. It is a Torah value to express Hakorat Hatov – Gratitude – and I would like to take this opportunity to thank these wonderful people from the bottom of my heart.  

Their words and deeds are exemplary and give me hope for the future.

AM YISROEL CHAI.
