FRAMINGHAM - A special Shabbat service will be held on Friday, October 13 at Temple Beth Am to show solidarity with those in Israel.

Members of all faith communities are invited to attend the event, which will begin at 7:15 p.m. at the site along Pleasant Street.

This comes following increasing tensions in Gaza and Israel, which initially flared back up following attacks from the group Hamas last weekend. Since then, retaliation strikes from Israeli forces have begun and fighting between opposing sides has continued. Thousands across the region have been killed.
