Solidarity with Valencia

Posted on 30 Oct, 20:57

The EUPJ extends our deepest sympathies to Shir Jadash Comunidad Judia Reformista Valenciana in the wake of the devastating flash floods that have impacted Valencia and its surrounding regions. We are profoundly saddened by the loss and destruction that has touched so many lives and affected the homes and livelihoods of countless families in the region. Our heartfelt concerns extend to all individuals in the region affected by this tragedy. On behalf of the EUPJ, Rabbi Lisitsa will be offering pastoral support to our member congregation to provide a source of resilience and strength for the work of rebuilding and healing.
