Amid rising antisemitism and a significant increase in anti-Israel sentiment throughout the United States and around the world, national Jewish organizations announced a “March for Israel” that is scheduled for Nov. 14, at 1 p.m., on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
The collaborative effort, which is being spearheaded by Jewish Federations of North America and Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, will bring together Americans from all walks of life to stand publicly and proudly in support of Israel. The event will focus on showing solidarity with Israel, demanding the immediate release of the hostages being held by Hamas and condemning the rise in antisemitic violence and harassment.
The event organizers are optimistic that the March for Israel will draw a huge crowd to the nation’s capital, with a turnout that equals or surpasses that of the pro-Israel rally in 2002 during the Second Intifada and the 1987 rally in support of Soviet Jewry. The crowd size at each of those events on the National Mall was more than 100,000.
A group of local activists in Crown Heights have united with the purpose of organizing bus transportation to the solidarity rally for Israel in Washington, D.C. scheduled for this Tuesday, November 14th.
While procuring buses can be a formidable challenge, we are diligently working to ensure that we can accommodate everyone who wishes to participate.
We kindly request your assistance in this endeavor. If you are available to join us, we ask that you complete a brief form. This will enable the organizers to estimate the number of buses required. Please note that this does not constitute a reservation at this stage, but rather serves as a means to gauge demand.
Once the form is completed, kindly submit it, and we will be in contact with you.
We also encourage you to share the provided link with any family or friends, and even on your Shul Groups, who may have an interest in joining this important cause.
Thank you for your support. May we have the privilege of sharing positive news about Eretz Yisroel and Klal Yisroel as a whole.
Thank you.
answer from Rav Braun about going to protests or marches.
“There is no one set answer for this. Each case should be determined individually, on a case by case basis. The questions to be determined are: do they conform with basic standards of halacha, modesty, hashkafah etc,? Who are the parties responsible for the event? Are there other so-called strands of Judaism being represented?”
With due respect to Rav Braun, this is not the time to get caught up in the issue of “strands of Judaism.” When it comes to our survival, we are one mishpachah. Every Jew is as holy as every other Jew. (And of course we are grateful to all the non-Jews who have shown us immense support.)
HaRav Yosef Dov Soloveitchik, zt’l, writes that when it comes to our national fate, we are all one and we must cooperate with one another. As many “strands” as will participate must be welcomed, and we, frum Yidden, must join.
I recall the Rebbe once said in one of the JEM videos, some Jews practice Torah and some Jews support Torah.

Public Notice National Jewish organizations are calling on Jews throughout the United States to travel to Washington, DC, on Tuesday, Rosh Chodesh Kislev (Nov. 14) for a mass rally of Americans Marching to Support Eretz Yisroel, Free Hostages and Against Antisemitism, organized by two major Jewish organizations (the Jewish Federations of North America and the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations). Considering the current precarious situation of our brothers and sisters in Eretz Yisroel, as well the strong hostility from some circles to the continued support of the United States government for the Jewish People, we believe it… Read more »
I would love it if it was more detailed about the time we are planning to leave Washington, and the timing we are planning to be back in ch…. Thank you! That would really help me know if I can join
I think everyone should make an effort to go. Schools should take their students, parents should bring their children. We are all one family, united. When they try to insight fear into us we should get up and show them IN THEIR FACE that we are not afraid and will continue to be proud of our Jewish identity. I encourage all Jewish people to take part!
