Whether it is in a synagogue, church or a mosque, religious violence hurts everyone.
JAC stands with the Muslim community in New Zealand and the Muslim communities across the world during this horrific time.
We can never allow religious hatred to divide and weaken us. We must be resolute in our efforts to fight bigotry and continue to strive for tolerance and understanding.
The victims and their families will be in our prayers tonight as we usher in Shabbat.

JAC STATEMENT
Our condolences to the families and victims whose lives are shattered forever. The tragedy that unfolded in Las Vegas early this morning is indescribable. It's a scene -- senseless violence aimed at innocent victims -- that has played out too often throughout America.
There will undoubtedly be an outpouring of prayers and comfort. But what our country desperately needs is an outpouring of action to keep guns away from dangerous individuals, ban assault weapons, and tighten background checks.
Today the U.S. Senate voted to confirm Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. This was accomplished by changing the rules of the Senate to permit a simple majority (51 votes) to decide.
JACPAC is deeply disappointed by this confirmation. We say "Elections Have Consequences." The impact of this confirmation will be felt for generations.
