USCJ Community Prayer Requests

We are coming together as a community to provide comfort and strength in this dire moment in the history of the State of Israel and Am Yisrael. Please use this form to list anyone affected by the war in Israel that we should pray for as a community. Click here to view the names of those we keep in our prayers.

We stand in solidarity with those who have been kidnapped and their families, and pray for their redemption. And we offer courage and strength for all who are in shelters seeking safety. Our prayers are with the brave defenders in the IDF, Israel’s security forces, and first responders.
