The State of Israel has a special hold on our soul. Israel is the very essence of our being. The Torah that spells out for us a way of life and a religious destiny also binds us to a land, and Jewish life cannot be sustained without Israel at its core…. Israel’s pain is our pain; her safety, our gladness….
                                    -- Rabbi Eric H. Yoffie, President, Union for Reform Judaism

To give voice to our communal sorrow and hopes for peace we include for your use Prayers for the State of Israel, Prayers On Behalf of Israeli Defense Forces, Prayers for Peace, Prayers in Song, and Modern Readings and Poems on Israel. They may be added to your Shabbat worship, read at home or used to create a “liturgy” for a communal gathering in support of Israel.
