- The October 7, 2023 Hamas attack deeply divided Beth El in New Jersey, sparking heated debates over Zionism and Gaza’s humanitarian crisis within the congregation.
- Members like Felder oppose the synagogue’s pro-Israel sign due to Gaza’s blockade, while others stress solidarity and call for unified community support.
- New factions formed within Beth El reflect a spectrum of views from staunch Zionism to anti-Zionism, challenging the congregation’s shared identity.
- Synagogue leaders have facilitated dialogue and Israel trips to bridge divides, yet mistrust and tensions among members persist.
Saying ‘I Stand with Israel’ means ‘I believe in Israel, what Israel is, and what Israel can be—the Israel I dream of,’” he proclaimed.— Jesse Olitzky, Beth El’s senior rabbi, during a Yom Kippur sermon
