Rabbis for Human Rights

“It would take a year to tell you all of the incidents” said Mohamad Cabana as we looked upon the remains of his community’s leveled homes. We brought board members of Rozana Health Diplomacy to hear accounts of religious extremists torching homes in the middle of the night, with children and elderly people sleeping inside. One board member remarked that through many visits here, he never imagined the violence would reach the townships of Area B. Yusuf, from neighboring Mukhmas knows this firsthand. Earlier this year his cousin was murdered next to his home. The police did not arrest anyone and refused to open an investigation.

Haj Abu al Fazhar welcomed us into his home and shared about recent struggles to attain the most basic human necessity: water. While the community there retains all the legal records to tens of dunams of surrounding land, they aren’t able to receive water trucks or grain deliveries because of the army’s newly declared firing zone encompassing their entire property. Meanwhile, not 25 meters away, a new outpost deemed illegal by Israeli law hosts an enclave of settlers cutting off water to the Dar Abu Fazhar community. Despite all this, we have managed to send four water trucks and assisting in restoring access to their main water source. We are doing our best but need your help to demand justice and safe access to water.

חג קורבן מבורך לכל חברותינו וחברינו החוגגים את עיד אל־אדחא 🌙

نتمنى عيد أضحى مبارك لجميع أصدقائنا وشركائنا الذين يحتفلون بالعيد 🌙

Wishing a blessed Eid al-Adha to all our friends and partners celebrating the holiday 🌙

חג הקורבן מזכיר לכולנו את החשיבות של חמלה, סולידריות, נתינה ואמונה באנושיות המשותפת שמחברת בין כולנו — יהודים, מוסלמים, נוצרים, דרוזים ובני דתות שונות.

يذكّرنا عيد الأضحى بأهمية الرحمة، والتضامن، والعطاء، والإنسانية المشتركة التي تجمع بين الجميع — مسلمين ويهودًا ومسيحيين ودروزًا وأبناء جميع الأديان والخلفيات.

Eid reminds us of the importance of compassion, solidarity, generosity, and our shared humanity — connecting Jews, Muslims, Christians, Druze, and people of all faiths and backgrounds.

אנחנו מאחלים חג של שלום, צדק, בריאות, תקווה וימים טובים יותר לכל יושבי הארץ הזו. מי ייתן ונדע לבחור בדרך של כבוד הדדי, שותפות וחיים משותפים — גם ברגעים של כאב ומחלוקת.

نتمنى لكم عيدًا مليئًا بالسلام، والعدالة، والصحة، والأمل، وأيامًا أفضل لجميع من يعيشون في هذه البلاد. لعلّنا نواصل اختيار طريق الاحترام المتبادل، والشراكة، والحياة المشتركة — حتى في أوقات الألم والانقسام.

We wish everyone a holiday filled with peace, justice, health, hope, and better days for all who live in this land. May we continue choosing the path of mutual respect, partnership, and shared life — even in moments of pain and division.

עיד מובארכ וחג שמח 💜❤️
عيد مبارك وكل عام وأنتم بخير 💜❤️
Eid Mubarak 💜❤️

We distributed 101 food parcels ahead of Eid al-Adha to communities in At-Tayba junction, Wadi as-Seeq, Awarta, Al-Auja, and Ras al-Auja. These are families, children, and elderly people facing violence, harassment, expulsion attempts, and Jewish terror. Just before the holiday, we brought them the most basic necessities every human needs to survive, simply because we refuse to stand by and remain silent.

We refuse to accept this violence and these attacks, and we refuse to give in to apathy. Our way is to translate the Jewish commandment—do not stand idly by—into real action on the ground, reaching out to bring compassion and solidarity. We will continue to support these families, both during the holidays and in their daily lives, standing by them in their struggle against Jewish terror, violence, and attempts to displace them from their land.

Yesterday in Jerusalem at the Interfaith March for Human Rights and Peace.

We marched arm-in-arm with hundreds of faith leaders and activists. Jews, Muslims, Christians, Druze, secular and traditional.

We marched through the streets calling for dignity, justice and peace.

This is the divine image for Jerusalem and humankind.
No more war, oppression and suffering.

May we all come together in solidarity to guide humanity to act as holy guardians of each other and the planet.

While thousands marched through Jerusalem’s Old City during the annual Flag March, around 300 peace and human rights activists stood alongside Palestinian residents to provide a protective presence.

In an interview with The Forward, our Director of Partnerships, Anton Goodman, described scenes of harassment, vandalism, and violence directed at Palestinians during the march. He also shared how activists attempting to de-escalate tensions and assist residents were themselves pushed out of the area by police.

For Palestinians, Jerusalem Day is a time of fear and lockouts. Shops were shuttered, streets emptied, and residents braced themselves for intimidation.

We will continue to stand alongside those facing hatred, racism, and violence – and we will keep fighting for a Jerusalem rooted in dignity, equality, and shared humanity.
