Show that hate won’t win in Massachusetts. Commemorate the six-month anniversary of the Oct. 7 massacre and kidnapping.
We will join together as a community to:
- Speak out against antisemitism and Jew hatred
- Remember the hostages and let their families know that they are not alone
- Support our neighbors who are threatened by antisemitism and let the haters know that we will not be silenced
- This is a grassroots, participatory event; it’s not about speeches but about showing up as a united community where every person matters!
We will:
- Rebuild the hostage wall that was defaced (led by teens and tweens)
- Raise awareness about the hostages (more than 100 babies, children, women, and men were kidnapped and remain in Gaza)
- Write letters to the hostage families while children draw pictures (materials will be provided at the event)
- Adopt a hostage family (take home a hostage yard sign and send regular notes of support to hostage families)
How can you help?
- Help spread the word
- Volunteer to make calls and send emails to community contacts (in both the Jewish and non-Jewish community)
- Make and bring signs to the event supporting the hostages and speaking out against antisemitism
- Bring American and/or Israeli flags
- Volunteer to help at the event
- Sign up your tweens and teens to participate in the wall rebuilding
- Adopt a hostage family (more details to come)
- Show up and bring a friend (or 10)
If you have any questions or want to volunteer, please contact hostagewall@gmail.com.
This is a grassroots, community event supported by CJP, ADL, JCRC and IAC New England.
