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 project 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 4,000 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.” 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 a major event at Temple Emanu-El in Oak Park
*Also on Sunday, the Betar Zionist Youth Movement in Miami is sponsoring a demonstration at the Torch of Freedom-Bayside to show support for Israel’s campaign against terrorism.
*On Monday a pro-Israel rally will take place at the Addison-Penzak JCC, in Los Gatos, California.
*On Tuesday evening, the Indianapolis Jewish community will gather at the Jewish Community Campus to show its support for Israel.
*Also on Tuesday demonstrators will gather in front of the French embassy in Washington D.C. to denounce France’s anti-Israel foreign policy. The group will also protest French anti-Semitism.
