Last Saturday a gunman entered a synagogue in Colleyville, Texas and took four people hostage. Thankfully the hostages managed to escape. But the Skirball community and all people of conscience are left deeply troubled by yet another attack targeting people solely because of their religion, ethnicity, or race. The recent surge of antisemitism, incitement, and violence in our nation is cause for alarm. This was hardly the first time that Jews have been targeted, nor is it likely to be the last. But we have long cherished higher hopes for the United States of America.
According to several reports, the Colleyville assailant didn't storm the synagogue; he was invited in because he was perceived to need assistance. Jewish tradition teaches us to welcome the stranger. Here at the Skirball, that is the heart of our mission. We will not be deterred by deranged hatreds. We are steadfastly committed to building a community where every person feels welcome, respected, and safe. We will continue to stand tall for justice and kindness, life and hope—all the more so when reminded, yet again, that these ideals are more precious than ever.
Wishing us all safety and strength in community.
