WE STAND BY AND SUPPORT OUR JEWISH COMMUNITY

On Christmas morning 2022, anti-Jewish flyers were left in multiple yards in Grand Junction. We are appalled that this happened in our town.

The Jewish community includes our neighbors, friends, colleagues, and essential service providers. We are fortunate to have their contributions to the Grand Valley.

We strongly condemn all actions of bigotry which spread mis-information, intimidation and division in our community.

We ask that our community
- our residents, government, law enforcement, businesses and organizations -
actively oppose anti-Jewish activity and encourage an environment of tolerance and inclusivity.
