Global Jewish Community Unites in Prayer for Peace Amid Israel-Hamas Conflict

Jews in communities around the world gathered at synagogues for Shabbat services amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, expressing grief and praying for peace. Rabbis led prayers and shared the trauma experienced by Jewish communities, particularly in Pittsburgh, which was scarred by an antisemitic attack in 2018. Security was tight at many synagogues, and congregants expressed a mix of anger, sadness, and resilience. Similar services were held in the US, Germany, Indonesia, and Miami Beach, with calls for peace and unity among different faiths.
