As the Israel-Hamas war unfolds halfway across the world, Anchorage’s Jewish leaders continue to offer spaces for healing and support for those both inside and outside the Jewish community.
at the Dena’ina Center, Alaska’s largest Jewish organization, Congregation Beth Sholom, hosted a healing vigil on Saturday night, attracting about 200 people to its Northeast Anchorage synagogue for an interfaith night of prayer, music, short speeches and acts of solidarity.
A handful of current and former Alaska politicians spoke at the service, including Alaska Sen. Forrest Dunbar, D-Anchorage, Anchorage Assembly Chair Christopher Constant and former state lieutenant governor Valerie Nurr’araluk Davidson. The war, “cuts at that sense of security, at that sense of a homeland,” Dunbar said, later adding, “I also want to see a Palestinian state that is safe and free.”
