Jewish Federations of North America are relieved that the passengers and crew of the FlyDubai flight bound for Israel are safely home, following an apparent attempt to bring down the aircraft mid-flight.

We are deeply grateful to the pilot who, while injured, managed to open the cockpit door, to the crew members and passengers who acted swiftly to bring the plane to safety, and to the Saudi authorities for shepherding the passengers home. Their courage prevented what could have been an unspeakable tragedy. We wish the captain, and all those injured, a full and speedy recovery.

While the full details of what occurred are still emerging, what is clear is that in a moment of crisis, people came together to protect one another. That instinct — to stand up, to help, to refuse to let terror define the outcome — reflects the very best of the human spirit, and stands in stark contrast to whatever motivated this attack.

Jewish Federations will continue to monitor the situation closely and stand with our community and our partners across the region as more information becomes available.

Chag Sukkot Sameach! As we gather in our sukkahs this week, we’re reminded that true strength comes from building community, not walls. We are stronger when we’re together.
This is the heart of our work at :
Building communities strong enough to shelter all.
Creating lasting connections that provide meaning and security.
Ensuring no one faces life’s uncertainties alone.
Wishing you a joyful Sukkot filled with connection and celebration.
