House chaplain Margaret Kibben led the group in prayer. She said international crises have a way of touching everyone in different ways and that there is more that unites people than divides them.
Gottheimer asked everyone to join him in a moment of silence to honor the lives lost in Israel and the hostages currently missing.
“Thank you again to all my colleagues for joining us, and you’ll see all of us as a country coming together,” Gottheimer said. “Democrats and Republicans, there is nothing that divides us on this issue as members of Congress who care about our country.”

May our nation truly stand together in unity concerning Israel, just as this crisis is drawing Israel to stand strong together.
Psalm 133:1-3
[1]BEHOLD, HOW good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
[2]It is like the precious ointment poured on the head, that ran down on the beard, even the beard of Aaron [the first high priest], that came down upon the collar and skirts of his garments [consecrating the whole body]. [Exod. 30:25, 30.]
[3]It is like the dew of [lofty] Mount Hermon and the dew that comes on the hills of Zion; for there the Lord has commanded the blessing, even life forevermore [upon the high and the lowly].
I was very encouraged and quite surprised at seeing that 2 democrats were the ones who led this vigil, although the article did not say it was a prayer vigil – just a candlelight vigil. I do pray that this unites our country in the assault against Israel, as I continue to pray for the medical personnel in Israel to have strength and stamina in these incredibly long and trying days.
