Malcolm Hoenlein, Executive VP of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, held a bloggers conference call yesterday, sponsored by One Jerusalem, to alert the blogosphere to a major event scheduled for next Wednesday at noon in New York.
In light of the visit to the United Nations of Iran’s President Ahmadinejad — who has denied the Holocaust, embraced genocide, and called for the eradication of a U.N. member state — thousands will be rallying that day:
National Israel Solidarity Rally Wednesday, September 20, 12 Noon Second Ave. and 47th St., New York City.
Thousands of shofarot will sound in a call of unity with Israel. Participants are urged to bring a shofar.
Sponsored by the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations and Jewish Community Relations Council of New York, in Cooperation with the United Jewish Communities, UJA-Federation of New York and Jewish Council for Public Affairs.
