Photos, Video from Agudath Israel of America emergency delegation to Washington, D.C.

Yesterday, July 23, 2014, Agudath Israel sent an emergency delegation to Capitol Hill to meet with members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee as well as House Foreign Affairs and Armed Services Committee together with other Congressional Representatives. The meetings provided an opportunity to express appreciation for America's strong support of Israel and its right to defend itself, and to request additional emergency funding of the Iron Dome. In addition, the delegation registered the American Jewish community's deep concern about the rise in global anti-semitism and urged the officials to speak out forcefully about protecting Jewish communities across the globe. Below are photos of various meetings in the House of Representatives.
