Dear Friends,

Today - even right now - would you take five minutes to make a call about gun violence in America?

Today - Feb 4th - is national interfaith call-in day to prevent gun violence. faithscalling.org

 

1. Contact your senators and representatives with the following message if you agree: (See bottom of email for phone numbers)

    • Require universal background checks for all gun purchases
    • Ban semi-automatic assault weapons and high-capacity magazines
    • Make gun trafficking a federal crime
    • Improve access to mental health services
    • Tell them that gun violence prevention laws work.

2. Help locally - Learn more:  Click here  

 

3. Read a Jewish Reflection - Click here for a sermon I delivered a week after Sandy Hook. 

 

4. Listen to a Congregant's Musical Tribute - Adam Wernick, a composer and member of Mount Zion, composed this tribute:  

What Is More Precious (updated version)
What Is More Precious?

With prayers for peace and security,

Rabbi Spilker
Adam Stock Spilker, Rabbi
