Washington, D.C – Interfaith Alliance President, Rabbi Jack Moline, released the following statement on the passing of former Israeli President and Prime Minister Shimon Peres.
“Shimon Peres was a voice for peace and reconciliation who set an example for people around the world. His insistence that public service rest on a moral foundation is an example that serves all people well, and is especially meaningful at this moment in American politics. All of us at Interfaith Alliance mourn his passing.”
