Rabbi Harold Kravitz now wears a blue ribbon in honor of the hostages as well as an armband that reads 'Until they are all here, all of us are there,' in Hebrew. He visited Israel for just a day and a half, but describes a life-changing mission.
MINNEAPOLIS -- A longtime Rabbi in the Twin Cities just returned from Israel where he heard stories of the war firsthand. He met with survivors and families of hostages as well as prominent government officials. 'As soon as I got there, I understood why I had to be there,' Rabbi Kravitz said.He was among 50 U.S. Jewish community leaders who traveled on the solidarity mission with the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations.
Kravitz said they also heard stories of survival, including one of a nurse who was separated from her family helping a wounded soldier then was shot multiple times. She is now reunited with her family as she heals.'We were both in tears and as was her mother who was standing by her,' he recalled.Kravitz is bringing their stories home to Minnesota where he says the community remains on edge.'We know there's hate directed at Jews, we know there's hate directed at Muslims.
