Shabbos against Genocide in Palestine

With hearts full of rage, love, solidarity, grief and care in the face of the genocide in Gaza and across Palestine by the Israeli government, South African Jews for a Free Palestine is hosting Shabbat against Genocide in Palestine. Even one life lost or spent suffering, is too many. Join us for mourning, singing, prayer, candle lighting and words of solidarity.

We will not allow our Judaism and the memory of our ancestors to be weaponized for further and interlinked genocidal projects. Palestinian freedom requires an end to Zionism. In turn, genuine safety for Jews is contingent on Palestinian freedom and equal rights.

We aim for our Shabbos service to be a moment to form community and bonds., in this time of deep fragmentation and division. Our Shabbos is to be a space of holding for Jews and our comrades of different faiths alike.
