To our Muslim Brothers and Sisters
We were deeply distressed to hear of the Quebec City Mosque shooting and the tragic loss of life.We join together as Jews, Christians and Muslims to condemn this violent attack in a place and at a time of peace and prayer. We express our deep condolences to the families of the victims and those injured in the attack in Canada.
We stand in solidarity with the Canadian President, Justin Trudeau, and the Canadian Community that have shown a collective outpouring of empathy for the Muslim community affirming them as being important and valued members of their community.
We stand together in the hope that our love and compassion will help overcome bigotry and hatred, intolerance and extremism and we unite in peace. We all deserve to feel safe in a community we call home.
May the blessing of Shalom, Peace, Salaam speedily grace our planet.
