Solidarity Rally - Miami
Solidarity Rally - Miami
The Miami Rally was 600 strong, with people of all faiths coming together in Solidarity with Gush Katif, from all over South Florida and some from as far away as Orlando and Fort Myers. Attendance was twice our expectations, especially considering that we put this Rally together in a week and day!
The purpose of the Rally was to send a message to the powers that be, in Israel and here in the United States of America, that the expulsion of Jews from their homes and their land in Israel is an abomination and must not happen.
We had a live hook up with Gush Katif, Rachel Saperstein encouraged all to come to Israel and join in the struggle, and recent recorded announcements from Danielle Weiss, Mayor of Kidumim and Chaver Kenneset Arial Eldad. Local speakers included Heather Andron, of AFSI, and Capt Gary Kosak of the International Christian Zionists. Kayla Kowal, age 16, led us in prayer for two 16 years old girls, Nofar Horowitz and Rachel ben Abu who were both murdered by a terrorist last week in Netanyana and for the speedy recovery of Yigal ben Zahava and Sh'altiel ben Sara who were both injured in mortar shell attack in N'vei Dekalim this week.
During the Prayer for Gush Katif led by the M.C. Roni Raab, host of the popular "Shalom South Florida" Radio station, a beautiful rainbow appeared in the sky above us, a strong reminder that G-d has not abandoned us.
Shlomi Boxer's Yachad band, reminded us all that during times of distress, the Jewish response is to sing and dance, and dance we did!
As one, we raised our voices, calling upon the powers that be in Israel, and here in America, to "Let My People Stay."

Thank you so much, Linda, for posting this report.
I am sorry that we were unable to get similar reports from other cities, especially from NYC. Miami leads the way.
