The Jewish community of Denver, Colorado devoted an entire week to showing its support for Israel. Denver’s Jewish Federation, and local pro-Israel activist, Dr. Susan Heitler, put the initiative together. Throughout the work week hundreds of people gathered in front of the state capital at the end of each day to wave Israeli and American flags. Some of the homemade signs carried by supporters read, \"Stop Homicide Bombers\" and \"Honk if you support Israel\".
This past Sunday morning over 4000 Denver residents gathered to take part in a four-mile march to show solidarity with Israel. Later in the day Denver’s Jewish Community Center hosted an event called “Ben Yehudah Mall Comes to the JCC.” At the bazaar “made in Israel” goods were sold and all proceeds went to the Israeli merchants, artisans, and manufacturers who shipped them in. In addition, tables were set up raising funds for various organizations throughout Israel.
Several other pro-Israel rallies will take place this week throughout the United States. This coming Sunday the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit will be hosting an event at Temple Emanue-El in Oak Park… On Tuesday evening, the Indianapolis Jewish community will gather at the Jewish Community Campus to show its support for Israel… On Monday, April 29 a rally will take place at the Addison-Penzak JCC, in Los Gatos, California.
