A Hanukkah journey with Passages Israel program participants offered profound insights into Christian-Jewish solidarity while experiencing firsthand the realities of life under Hamas threats. Their shared story with us is not merely a historical narrative but a living, dynamic testament to our common values and aspirations. Visiting locations, such as Kibbutz Kfar Aza and the site of the Supernova music festival, where the October 7 massacres by Hamas took place, was a sobering reminder and put a face to the current ongoing threats Israel contends with. This trip was more than a journey through Christian and Jewish physical spaces; it was an exploration into the heart of what it means to be allies dedicated to peace and human flourishing. As we look to the future, it is clear that the strength of Christian faith and leadership in America is intertwined with our relationship with Israel.
