This Shabbat we will remember Hersh, Eden, Carmel, Almog, Alex and Ori.

As an expression of our grief for the brutal murder of our hostages in the past week, the SAZF and SAJBD are embarking on an initiative for our shuls and our community members so that we go into this shabbat remembering these hostages.

This Shabbat we will remember Hersh, Eden, Carmel, Almog, Alex and Ori.

We have asked the shuls to display photographs of the 6 hostages which we sent as a PDF and to light 6 yarzeit candles in the entrance.

We also ask community members to light 6 candles in your home to remember these precious lives that were brutally ended last week.

We pray for the safe return of the remaining hostages.

@everyone

SAJBD Responds to DIRCO's Abandonment of South Africans stuck in Israel

The South African Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) on Sunday issued a travel advisory urging South African citizens in Iran to exercise caution and register with the South African Embassy in Tehran. It is outrageous that DIRCO did not offer similar assistance or services to its citizens in Israel. With the Advisory the Government and DIRCO have clearly shown disinterest and abandoned the many South Africans, be they Christian, Jewish or Muslim who are stranded in Israel. The Government's stance on this current situation confirms once again its lack of concern for not only the citizens of Israel, but its own citizens in Israel.

DIRCO supports terror regime once again

South Africa’s expression of concern and condolences for the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran serves once again to show their decision to always side with dictators, terror organisations and human-rights abusers. DIRCO supported the Assad regime in Syria, Muammar Gaddafi in Libya, Omar Hassan Ahmad al-Bashir in Sudan, Sadam Hussein in Iraq, Hamas in Gaza and now Ali Hosseini Khamenei in Iran. All these dictators have a strong history of oppressing their own people and exporting terror.
