An orange Shabbat in America

Synagogues across America will be participating in 'Orange Shabbat in America's Synagogues' July 15-16, ahead of the July 19 Worldwide Solidarity Rally for Gush Katif/Gaza, N. Samaria, and all of Israel at the Israeli Consulate in New York, to show solidarity with the anti-pullout protest.

Organized by Americans for a Safe Israel (AFSI), the nation-wide program will see various congregations participate in a 'Shabbaton' devoted to opposing the Israeli PM Ariel Sharon expulsion plan, including speakers, special prayers, and songs.

Shabbat morning, rabbis will devote their sermons to the crisis, and may invite guest speakers to speak at various times during the day, and in the evening. Again, prayers for the beleaguered citizens of Israel will be said.

"It is hoped that millions of prayers ascending to heaven at the same time will cause a cancellation of the immoral, illegal, cruel and destructive Sharon expulsion plan," said a release from AFSI.
