Lonnie Kleinman, a 33-year-old rabbi, was among hundreds at the U.S. Capitol demanding a ceasefire in Gaza. Her activism led to personal sacrifices, including her job.
The protest saw around 300 activists arrested, including Kleinman, as they called for peace and justice for Palestine, marking a significant moment of political expression.
Kleinman's experience highlights the tension within the Jewish community surrounding Israel's policies. Her termination from a nonprofit reflects the deep divisions over the issue.
Despite facing personal backlash, Kleinman stood firm in her beliefs, noting, 'The moment we stop speaking out, we lose our humanity and solidarity.'
