Friend,

This week in Columbus the Temple Israel synagogue was vandalized by an extremist white nationalist hate group.

This group grew from the violently racist, anti-Semitic gathering in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017. Its members are NOT “very fine people,” as the president once stated. They are the worst of us.

This vile attack on a Columbus synagogue perpetrated by a white supremacist hate group, with members across Georgia, is only the latest in a disturbing trend of increased anti-Semitism and hate crimes across America since 2016.

But while we are disturbed by this heinous act we will not hide in fear and we will not be deterred from our fight for justice and equality.

I am, like Rabbi Beth Schwartz, thankful that no one was hurt and that the local police responded quickly, and, yet, I pray for the end of such hatred and ignorance. We must exhibit strength by standing in solidarity with the members of Columbus’ Temple Israel and all Jewish Americans.

Make no mistake about it - the hate-crime vandals are not patriots as they propose. The members of the Columbus Jewish community are our neighbors and patriots. I stand with them and against hate. All Georgians should join us in declaring that we are intolerant of this intolerance.

Not in our community. Not in our state. Not in our country.

With you in the fight,
Teresa
