Many in the Napa community came together to condemn the actions of Hamas and grieve the loss of innocent lives.
NAPA — The Congregation of Beth Shalom held a vigil Wednesday in Napa to stand with Israel. Johanna Meckel was one of many sitting in the synagogue. She was trying to hold back tears as she spoke to the crowd, sharing her story. Meckel said, 'This has been a nightmare. You wake up in the morning and feel like it's a fever dream. Like this can't be real.'Meckel said two of her family members have died and many others are on the frontlines fighting against Hamas.
Do people know what that means? You are asking for Israel to be eliminated. From the river to the sea,' she said.For the congregation, there is still a sense of disbelief and shock about what's happening to the Jewish people. Rabbi Niles Goldstein of Congregation of Beth Shalom said, 'I was a Rabbi and a police chaplain in New York during 9/11. And I went down to ground zero, and I had a similar experience.
