“Next Year in Jerusalem” ... the words of hope and faith that have sustained generations, and that have held the Jewish people together for two millennia. Jerusalem is perhaps the only example in history of a place people prayed towards and yearned for despite never having seen it. For generations the Jewish people nurtured their connection to Jerusalem. The mere mention of the city kept Jews from despair and assimilation during centuries of torture and exile.

Jerusalem remained for all Jews the dream of rebirth, the hope of continuity, and the manifestation of both their particularity as a people and the universality of their values. Most importantly, it remained the Jewish capital, even as the Jewish people languished in exile. In 2,000 years, Jerusalem has been the capital of only one country – the ancient and modern State of Israel.

Yet, today, in our generation, the future of Jerusalem is at risk. Not so long ago, the notion of dividing Jerusalem was unheard of, unimaginable. It is a sad reality that today some eagerly embrace the once unthinkable. So, your help is needed today more than ever. Those who seek to tear Jerusalem in two hope you will stand by quietly. Prove them wrong. Show you care about keeping Jerusalem safe and united. Please support One Jerusalem today!

Sincerely,
