The American Jewish community faces unprecedented challenges as anti-Semitic violence continues to escalate.
These recent tragic events demand our most immediate attention and unified response as we stand with Israel and the Jewish people.
SHOCKING ATTACKS
On May 21, 2025, two young Israeli Embassy staffers, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, were shot and killed outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C.
The couple, who were about to become engaged, were attending a peaceful event when the gunman approached and murdered them.
He later shouted “Free Palestine” as he was arrested.
During Pastor Larry’s most recent visit to the Washington D.C., area he and his daughter Katie paid tribute to Yaron and Sarah Lynn by visiting the memorial of flowers where they were slain (below).
It was a show of unity to let the Jewish people know that Christians stand with them and with Israel against all terrorist attacks and threats.
BRAZEN ASSAULTS
Just days later, on June 1, a devastating attack in Boulder, Colorado, left twelve people injured when a terrorist used Molotov cocktails and a makeshift flamethrower against demonstrators supporting Israeli hostages.
Among the tragic victims was an 88-year-old Holocaust survivor who had fled Europe decades ago seeking safety as a Jew in America.
In San Francisco, protests took an anti-Semitic turn when vandals targeted a Jewish- owned community space.
They smashed windows and spray-painted hateful messages including “The Only Good Settler Is a Dead One” and “Death 2 Israel Is a Promise.”
PATTERN OF HATRED
These attacks all share disturbing similarities.
In each case, perpetrators targeted Jewish individuals and institutions while invoking anti-Israel rhetoric.
In 2024 alone, there were 9,354 documented anti-Semitic incidents in the U.S. This marks a 344% increase over 5 years.
This dangerous unrest has now escalated beyond mere protests to explicit calls for violence, with some activists openly stating that Zionists don’t deserve to live.
Local Jewish communities describe feeling that such incidents were inevitable given the escalating rhetoric at protests and on social media.
As Christians, we cannot remain silent while the Jewish people face such persecution.
Scripture commands us to “pray for the peace of Jerusalem” and to be a blessing to Israel.
Through our ongoing partnership with the Israel Allies Foundation, we have successfully advocated for policies protecting Jewish communities worldwide.
Added to this, your ever faithful support has created a strong “diplomatic Iron Dome” over Israel.
STANDING STRONG
Yet our work protecting Israel is far from complete.
These recent attacks prove that ancient hatred against the Jewish people continues to manifest in many new evil and very dangerous ways. When Christians like you transform biblical support into real political action, it becomes one of our most powerful tools.
Each offering that you send helps combat the rising tide of anti-Semitism and to supports Israel’s right to exist and defend itself.
We serve the God of Israel who “never slumbers nor sleeps” (Psalms 121:4).
This is the same God who preserved the Jewish people through Egypt, Babylon, and the Holocaust and still protects them today.
Our role is to be His hands and feet, standing with our Jewish brothers and sisters in their time of greatest need.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
These recent attacks are clearly meant to instill mass terror, fear, and division.
However, each assault only strengthens our resolve to support the Holy Land and the Jewish people.
Through your prayers and faithful giving, we are able to continue building bridges of understanding and protection.
UNITED TOGETHER
Now more than ever, your support through Larry Huch Ministries is essential in our effective fight against worldwide anti-Semitism.
Together, we can ensure that Israel and the Jewish community know they are not alone in this battle.
Your faithfulness enables us to unite against those who seek to do them harm and to transform our faith into meaningful action for Israel’s security and blessing.
Thank you for standing with us in this critical hour.
