Shalom Passion – Never Again is Now!
Founded in the aftermath of tragedy, The Shalom Passion Initiative represents a profound reverence and love for Israel, igniting Jewish pride globally. Birthed by Carey Smolensky’s drive to channel grief into unity following the horrific terrorist attack on Oct. 7, 2023, Shalom Passion emerged from his heartening two-week pilgrimage to Israel, where he embraced, and uplifted those ravaged by conflict. Today, it stands as a beacon of hope, advocating compassion, togetherness, and resilience through educational outreach, volunteerism, and fundraising. At its core, Shalom Passion is a vibrant movement, championing the rich heritage and unbreakable spirit of the Jewish community and their enduring connection to their ancestral homeland.
