In cities around the world, Jews and Iranians are celebrating together.

In cities around the world, Jews and Iranians have been celebrating together. For decades, the Islamic regime in Iran has brutalised its own people while calling for Israel’s destruction. But the scenes we are witnessing remind us that the Iranian and Jewish peoples were never enemies – and many share a hope that one day, their historic friendship can be restored. In cities around the world, Jews and Iranians have been celebrating together. For decades, the Islamic regime in Iran has brutalised its own people while calling for Israel’s destruction. But the scenes we are witnessing tell another story: the Iranian and Jewish peoples were never enemies. Beneath the politics, there remains a deep and historic friendship — and a shared hope that one day it can fully flourish again. As we welcome Shabbat, we pray for the safety of innocent civilians everywhere – and for a future where peace and freedom allow ancient friendships to thrive again. Shabbat Shalom! ✨ 🕊️🕯️🪬🇮🇷 💙 🇮🇱 ✨ Video: AIJAC.
