Bill > SR8

This resolution, passed by the Mississippi Senate, expresses full support for the Beth Israel Congregation in Jackson, Mississippi, following a recent arson attack on their place of worship. The Senate condemns the arson as a serious crime and a particular outrage because it targets the fundamental right to worship freely, drawing parallels to tragic historical events. The resolution acknowledges statements of solidarity from Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves and Jackson Mayor John Horhn, who both denounced such acts of hatred and affirmed that they are attacks on the community as a whole and incompatible with the state's values. The resolution will be sent to the Beth Israel Congregation's Board of Directors and the Mississippi Commissioner of Public Safety.
