Statement on the Iranian Attack

The Jewish Federation of Greater New Orleans condemns Iran’s massive bombardment attacking Israel in the strongest possible terms.

From Hamas to Hezbollah to the Houthis, Iran has been the power supporting Israel’s terrorist enemies and providing them with the weapons and know-how to attack Israel’s civilians.

Our communities are in complete solidarity with the people of Israel and the IDF as they work to defend themselves from these attacks, and we pray for their safety.

We are thankful for the support promised by the United States to actively defend Israel from the Iranian threat.

As we face yet another attack, we find even more reason to remain steadfast and committed to one another, here and with our brothers and sisters in Israel. 

If you have not already made plans, we ask that you join our community for the commemoration event on Sunday, October 6th to show our solidarity and mark the one-year anniversary of the October 7th terror attack.
