Chicagoans held multiple gatherings Thursday night in support of Israel and call for de-escalation of military action between Israel and the militant group Hamas.
Chicagoans held multiple gatherings Thursday to show their support for Israel and mourn Israeli and Palestinian deaths as violence escalates between Israel and the militant group Hamas. “We are not going to be afraid,” Rabbi Mendy Benhiyoun said before a crowd of about 70 people in Daley Plaza. “We are going to be proud.” The crowd sang songs and chanted in Hebrew and waved Israeli flags while some attendees wrapped tefillin, Jewish prayer boxes containing Torah verses.
Emily Underwood, 35, and her sister Kelsey attended the rally “to gather with other Jews and be with people who are experiencing the same thing.” The last several days had been “very scary and very sad,” she said. A few miles north, at Belmont Harbor, organizers estimated that about 70 people came to say a prayer for peace and recite the Mourner’s Kaddish — a Jewish prayer recited for deaths or death anniversaries — in honor of Israelis and Palestinians who have died in recent attacks.
