On the eve of the Jewish holiday #Shavuot, when people in Israel spend the night learning Jewish texts in synagogues and communal centers across the country, a Hamas rocket, fired from #Gaza, hit a synagogue in Ashkelon. By a sheer miracle no one was hurt. #IsraelUnderAttack https://t.co/wROPXvZNfe

Shavuot, celebrated today, is when Jews stay up all night learning scriptures, in celebration of knowledge. The Israeli military's bombing of Gaza is not on behalf of Judaism or the Jewish people. https://t.co/bzdINwpPgX

Judaism rejects ‘Jewish’ nationalism It’s either Zionist Nationalism Or Judaism The two do not go together. It’s the Holy Torah that kept us alive thru the ages. While so many powerful dynasties are gone. We had no army or land. But we had the Holy Torah! #Shavuot #Israel https://t.co/ljXjkmvfec
