Rabbi Ed Feinstein speaking recently at AIPAC

Dear Haverim,

The state of Israel lives at the heart of our Jewish lives. Israel is the fulfillment of our two-thousand year old Jewish dream; it is the refuge for our people around the world; it is our homeland and heartland. But Israel is vulnerable. The Middle East is the most unstable region in the world and home to the most vicious terror and evil. For this reason, many of us at Valley Beth Shalom support AIPAC. AIPAC's sole purpose is to protect Israel by deepening the strategic alliance between the United States and Israel.

Early in March, some 16,000 of us gathered in Washington for the AIPAC National Policy Conference. More than a hundred VBS members braved the freezing temperatures to join this historic meeting. I was privleged to address the conference at one of its sessions. Presented below is the video of those remarks.

The AIPAC Policy Conference is the powerful way we make our concerns for Israel's future visible to our leaders in Washington. I hope you will make plans to join us next year, March 20-22, 2016 for the conference. To attend, please register online today and CLICK HERE to access the AIPAC online registration page.

With big dreams come big responsibility. Israel is the fulfillment of our dreams. We share responsibility for Israel's future.

Shabbat Shalom
Rabbi Ed Feinstein
