It will be held at 4 p.m. at the Riverfront Park Rotary Fountain.
“Yes, thank G-d, the President of the United States and many other world leaders have loudly condemned Hamas’ heinous acts, and for that we are very grateful,” wrote Rabbi Yisrael Hahn in a newsletter to the Chabad. “But the chorus of anti-Semitic voices only seems to be rising.”
He’s calling for the community to “stand up against terror” by attending the rally.
