Synagogue members gathered with Islamic Cultural Center members on Friday.

Jewish congregations gathered at the Islamic Cultural Center on Riverside Drive and 72nd Street on Friday to offer support after terrorist attacks against Muslims killed 49 people in New Zealand.

Worshipers and rabbis from several synagogues, including Ansche Chesed and Romemu gathered and held signs on Friday. Jeff French Segall took photos of the event.

99% of Muslims are peaceful, hard working contributors to society. Probably more than a lot of other ethnic groups. It is a shame they have been turned into a scapegoat for the world’s problems.

Kudos to those who showed up to support our neighbors at this difficult time.

That’s an interesting, honest observation.

“Scapegoat for the world’s problems”: negative remarks come out of accusers’ mouths without them thinking beforehand or afterwards. It’s like seeing people walk towards and across a crosswalk on the red light without bothering to look to the right or left for oncoming traffic.

Wonderful response by these rabbis and congregants from our neighborhood.

Reading about this is especially painful for me because I’ve been in Christchurch and was staying very close to where the attack took place.

Make the world a better place with no one left out. When you make chicken soup the smuts rises to the top. Humanity can then scoop it off and enjoy the result. With great respect and appreciation, judith
