Rabbi William Gershon from dallas, president of the Rabbinical Association of the conservative movement will give the prayer for israel. And rabbi fred reiner, chair of the atid Legal Society of the central conference of american rabbis will give the prayer for the United States, and they will help us hold up our hands as a unified people in solidarity with our sisters and brothers in israel.

Our full yushry committee and the house of representatives in terms of these ten hearings that weve had this year and last year . I mean, what can we take .
