Suggested Intention Focus for this week
This week, as a terrifying escalation in a global climate of hostility toward Jewish people in the wake of the deadliest mass shooting in Australia in nearly 30 years, we suggest holding as our main intention:
We will that educators, political leaders, social media influencers and respected figures in the public eye will be moved where they are able to use their platforms and influence to challenge the automatic conflation made by some that to be Jewish equates with a declared support for the Israeli government.
Please join us in holding this.
