The Jewish Federation Condemns Hate and Violence

Written by Rachel Calman | Aug 14, 2017 1:52:21 PM
The Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia condemns the hate and violence displayed this weekend at the white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, VA. Anti-Semitic, racist and xenophobic views have no home in a country that prides itself on justice, liberty and freedom for all. We mourn the loss of Heather Heyer who passed away in the horrific car attack and pray for the recovery of the 19 other men and women injured in this act of domestic terrorism. As a community, we pray for peace, calmness and safety in the days and weeks ahead.
