"collaborate with the broad Jewish Left ecosystem and multiracial, interfaith coalitions to practice a Judaism we can be proud of for future generations. R4C creates space for our communities to be with our horror, outrage, grief, shame, and fear while speaking spiritual and political truth,"
"This Yom Kippur, though our grief, outrage, and despair, let us turn our most holy of holy days into a mass mourning, collective atonement, and dignified action,"
Almost 60 protestors were arrested on Yom Kippur after blocking traffic on New York City's Brooklyn Bridge. Hundreds present were members of Rabbis for Ceasefire, a group of rabbis and rabbinical students supporting the free Palestine movement. The demonstration occurred amid the Israel-Hamas war that has claimed tens of thousands of lives per the Gaza Ministry of Health, prompting global calls for a ceasefire. Protesters clapped and sang in Hebrew as NYPD officers made arrests. The event began at Brooklyn Borough Hall with a Yizkor service. NYPD reported that all lanes on the bridge were blocked for one hour.
