I take mild offense at the claim that non orthodox synagogues do not say prayers for Israel and the hostages. I live in a small community that has one reform, one conservative, and one Chabad run synagogue. There is not a single Jewish person that I have encountered, from the rabbi at Chabad to the rabbi at the reform synagogue to folks whose only connection to the community is swimming at the JCC pool, who has not expressed support and prayers for Israel and the hostages. Over 500 people showed up at the Jewish Community Center Yom Ha'atzmaut celebration, which is a large fraction of the absolute number of Jews that live in Raleigh. I know for a fact that even the reform synagogue includes prayers for Israeli victory in its service.

Thanks for your response. I feel for you.

I was attacked once on Bury New Road near Vine Street ,by two young men on Erev Rosh Hashanah but it wasn't antisemitic. They simply wanted my watch.
