בְּי֥וֹם צָרָתִי֮ אֲדֹנָ֪י דָּ֫רָ֥שְׁתִּי יָדִ֤י ׀ לַ֣יְלָה נִ֭גְּרָה וְלֹ֣א תָפ֑וּג מֵאֲנָ֖ה הִנָּחֵ֣ם נַפְשִֽׁי׃

In my time of distress I turn to the Eternal with my hand [uplifted];  [my eyes] flow all night without respite; I will not be comforted.

—Psalm 77:2

We mourn the deaths of Mindel Ferencz, Moshe Deutch, Miguel Douglas, and Joe Seals, who were killed in a suspected antisemitic terror attack against a kosher grocery store in Jersey City, NJ. Initial reports suggest that the two suspects were members of the Black Hebrew Israelites, a group that considers Jews to be illegitimate, and the extremist fringe of which the Southern Poverty Law Center classifies as a hate group. We condemn this and all acts of antisemitic violence, and commit to working to end antisemitism and all forms of discrimination.
