Rabbis for Human Rights laden ein.
Los geht es am Zion Square um 16.00 Uhr.
Wir laden ein, beim Interfaith March for Peace, Equality, and Justice mitzugehen

“I felt like my legs were praying.”
(Rabbi Avraham Yehoshua Heshel, in the Selma marches, alongside Martin Luther King in the struggle for black rights, 1965)

In response to the escalating tensions surrounding Jerusalem Day, an Israeli national holiday marking the “reunification” of East and West Jerusalem in 1967, Rabbis for Human Rights have have organized the Interfaith March for Peace, Equality, and Justice. We hope to be joined by 50+ additional faith-based groups. This march serves as a poignant counter-narrative to the Jerusalem Day Flag Parade, which often amplifies divisions and sparks violence as thousands of Jewish Israelis march through the Old City’s Muslim Quarter, asserting dominance over the city with inflammatory rhetoric.

Join us as we march arm-in-arm through the streets of Jerusalem, advocating for peace, equality, and justice for all its residents. Your participation is not only an act of solidarity, but a declaration of commitment to a brighter future for Jerusalem and its people.

There are times when you cannot sit on the fence. On Monday, June 3, we will all march together. Jews, Muslims, Christians, Druze, of all denominations, and anyone who is part of the human rights and peace camp. We will gather in Zion Square at 16:00 and march to the New gate. There our Palestinian friends from the east of the city will join us, and together we will march to the Jaffa Gate.

In the face of hate – we respond with love.
In the face of violence – we respond with peace.
In the face of power – we respond with hope.
We will stand together in a true partnership of organizations, communities and individuals.
It is time for a change.

The march will take place a few days before the Jerusalem flag day parade, an event which stokes division and provokes violence. We posit a clear and upright alternative, one of cooperation and unity, showing the mutual humanity of our religions.
