The devastating attack in Manchester deeply saddens us. Our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with those who have lost their lives, their families and loved ones, and all those who have been affected by this senseless act of violence.
We extend our sincere gratitude to all the emergency responders and community members who have demonstrated courage, compassion and dedication in supporting those in need and continuing to care for those injured and their families.
In this time of sorrow, we offer our deepest condolences to the Jewish community. Echoing the late President Russell M. Nelson’s call for peacemakers in the world, we reaffirm our commitment to peace, compassion and respect for all faiths.
