The Jewish Federation of Greater New Orleans prays for the success of the joint United States and Israeli actions in Iran, and for the safety of the brave members of the U.S. Armed Forces and the Israel Defense Forces carrying them out.
We are closely monitoring events and Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) is keeping us informed through communication with our partners in Israel.
We invite you to join JFNA for a special briefing on the rapidly unfolding conflict involving Israel, the United States, and Iran. On Wednesday, March 4 at 2:00 PM CT.
Federation also supports JCD (The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee), who is conducting an Israel emergency briefing on Wednesday, March 4 at 1:00 PM CT.
The safety of the Jewish community in New Orleans remains our highest priority. Our Community Security Director, James Stewart, is on full alert, coordinating closely with law enforcement to ensure a heightened security presence at all upcoming events.
We are pleased to report that this week’s community festivities were both jubilant and secure, thanks to the proactive support of NOPD, JPSO, the Mandeville Police Department, the Louisiana State Police, and the FBI.
As Eric Fingerhut, CEO of Jewish Federations of North America, reminds us: “May this moment bring a renewed understanding of our shared responsibility for the future of the Jewish people and the free world.”
