Winter Springs, FL 32708-2799
To The City Commission of the City of Winter Springs,
We wish to convey our sincere thanks for the statement of support for Israel and the Jewish Community
that resides in and around your fair City. It is no small measure to come together as a multipartisan
government body, in a highly polarizing time, to create a unified resolution of support for the right to
protect the innocent and civilians.
Very few are outwardly standing in the gap for the victimized and vulnerable people of Israel. We have
enjoyed as a local Jewish Community support for area institutions and programming efforts at large, but
to advocate as a city government for the State of Israel and Jewish people everywhere is humbling. With
the exponential rise of anti-Semitic hate crimes, not only nationally but to our Central Florida
Community, we cannot convey enough our gratitude for your loud, bold, strong stance for Israel and
your continued advocacy for our Central Florida Jewish Community.
With our sincerest appreciation,
Craig Polejes
Chair, Board of Directors
