As members of the Cincinnati Coalition for Israel, we are proud to reaffirm our unwavering support for the Jewish people and the State of Israel. As we approach the second anniversary of the October 7th massacres, we rise with all people of good conscience in Cincinnati in the fight against Jew-hatred and in support of the enduring partnership between the United States and Israel which stands as a testament to our shared values of democracy, freedom, decency, respect for human life and rights and Judeo-Christian values. Our community recognizes the challenges Israel faces, and we believe in the power of dialogue, education and advocacy to promote peace, prosperity and security for the Jewish people in Cincinnati and Israel.
The Coalition would be blessed by the readers of the Israelite to join us in our important work of fostering understanding and strengthening the bonds that unite us as lovers of the Jewish people and Zion. Together, through community events, educational initiatives and open conversations, we can ensure that the legacy of support for Israel continues to thrive here in Cincinnati.
We need the help of all Israelite readers with our latest time-sensitive initiative to help pass a bill in the Ohio legislature to codify the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of antisemitism into law. Please visit our website for easy instructions and sample letters for writing our lawmakers to urge them pass this important legislation. We believe that time is of the essence in passing this bill this calendar year due to the uncertainties facing the legislature in the coming election year in 2026. Please act now!
Let us remain committed to defending truth, combating Jew-hatred and celebrating Israel’s victories on behalf of the Jewish people and all of civilization.
