NYC - We need You on April 17th to stand in support of the Rabbis.
Below, AMCHA call :
APRIL 17TH 'MARCH OF CONSCIENCE' FROM IRANIAN UN MISSION TO UN DRAMATIZES IRAN'S ATOMIC DANGER TO ISRAEL AND WORLD
"There's a fire burning. A fierce fire of anti-Jewish, anti-American hatred, directed by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, that could engulf Israel, the Middle East, then Europe and the US. By our own action -- mass, peaceful, powerful civildisobedience at the gates of the United Nations -- we will dramatize the imminent danger that Ahmadinejad poses to the world. Now is the time. We dare not wait a moment longer." With these words, Amcha-Coalition for Jewish Concerns national president Rabbi Avi Weiss launched a campaign to organize rabbis, other clergy and laypersons for a March of Conscience at 1PM on Tuesday, April 17th -- the day after Yom Hashoah, Holocaust Memorial Day -- five blocks from the Iranian UN Mission to the Isaiah Peace Wall at the UN for a mass sitdown. "Moses and Esther spoke truth to power to save the Jews from destruction," Rabbi Weiss declared. "We must declare with our hearts and bodies that there can be no business as usual when Iran is on the verge of developing nuclear weapons to hurl against Israel and Europe. "If you are a rabbi, or other clergy, and are stirred by a sense of responsibility for Israel and the Jewish people, please join our March of Conscience. Please call us at (718) 796-4730 to register."
