WEDNESDAY, 7/24
Shacharit / Morning Prayers for Peace & Justice with T’ruah
10:00 AM | Gathering before the UnXeptable Netanyahu Non Grata Protest, South of Union Station between Delaware Ave NE and First St NE
Our Shacharit for Peace & Justice will be inspired by the liturgy of the Three Weeks between the 17th of Tammuz, which marks the breaching of the walls of Jerusalem in 70 CE, and Tisha b’Av, when the Temple was destroyed.
Although it will be a spiritual, soulful, and song-full prayer space before a larger UnXeptable rally, it will also be a protest that calls for an end to the war, a release of all hostages, and an end to the occupation. Let’s make sure our voices are loud.

Netanyahu Non Grata with UnXeptable

It’s Time to Save Israel from Netanyahu: The Israel We Know is Still There and Worth Fighting For.

Peace & Justice Bloc: Protest Netanyahu with Standing Together
1:00 PM | National Mall at 4th St between Jefferson and Madison
Ceasefire Now
Hostage/Prisoner Deal Now
End the Occupation
Freedom and Safety for All
1:00 PM | Capitol Grounds (precise location TBD)
Join Halachic Left to tell Bibi Netanyahu he is NOT welcome — not by the Jewish community, not by the American people, and not even by his own citizens.
We are observant, Torah-loving Jews calling for a ceasefire, a hostage/prisoner deal, and freedom and justice from the river to the sea.
We are about to read Megillat Eicha, reminding us of the tragedy that comes when we lose sight of our moral light; as it says, “חֵטְא חָטְאָה יְרוּשָׁלִַם,” “Oh, how Jerusalem has sinned” (Eicha 1:8). As we read daily about the slaughter and expulsion of Palestinians and the continued suffering of the hostages, we must hold firm to the Torah in yelling, “Ceasefire now,” “Return the hostages now,” and “LET GAZA LIVE!”
We will be joining Standing Together & the Anti Occupation Bloc, and then holding Mincha*, learning, and community time.
*traditional liturgy, gender-separate and gender-neutral areas available
