Rabbi Etzkowitz,
Do Say! Do Say! Will your thoughtful prayers be answered? A call out for
courage from our leaders. Will your pleas for a cease-fire resolution and
no more genocide be heeded ? Will the leader you have called upon for
action be ready in this moment of dire consequences?
“ First Amendment forever ”
