Larry Mead, vice president of the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles, said,"We are seeing the Jewish community is very apprehensive.Synagogues expected turnout on Friday night to be higher than usual as worshippers sought spiritual and emotional connection. "Many of us know someone or love someone who was killed, is in captivity, was hiding in terror, or is being called up for service," the synagogue told congregants in an email.
It was key to remind people of the little things they can do at times of fear and trauma, such as being aware of the sights and smells around them when doing something as ordinary as washing the dishes, she said.
