A pro-Hitler message was found written on a dumpster in a quiet residential neighborhood in Fremont around noon Friday. The message, written in clear cursive, said “We like Hitler, and you all who don’t can f– off.”
For Jews, it’s
tzedakah. For Muslims, it’s
sadaqah. The meaning is essentially the same an act grounded in a religious obligation to give to others.
Last week, Muslims from the Dawoodi Bohra community and Jews from Temple Beth Torah, both in Fremont, explored their shared spiritual commitment in a joint project to fund and assemble nearly 500 snack and hygiene packs for distribution to unhoused people throughout the region.
Though the effort had been in the works for a couple of months, representatives from the two congregations happened to meet to deliver the care packages on May 12, just as Muslims and Jews were firing rockets and attacking one another on the streets of Israel and Gaza.
