Shocked by Terror Attack in Paris

Masorti Olami and MERCAZ Olami are shocked and pained by the brutal terror attacks in Paris.

We send our condolences to the people of France and the families of the victims.

Claude Machline, founder of Massorti France and Masorti Europe, said,

"The Bataclan Theatre is a famous place where many Jewish events are held including a conference on anti-semitism which I planned in 2008. There is a vibrant Jewish population in this area and thus the choice of the target is obvious. My niece lost a friend attending the concert and one of our congregants, Prof. David Ruzie, lost his 22 year old granddaughter, Justine."

Sadly, we understand your loss and the anguish that will be faced in the days and weeks to come. We send you our prayers and support.

Masorti Olami and MERCAZ Olami condemn terrorism around the world. We pray that people find the strength and courage to find paths to peace.

Write a letter of support to the Massorti Movement in France at bureau@massortifrance.fr. Your messages will be shared with all the rabbis and communities in France.
