About Kesher Talk

  • "Kesher" means "connection" in Hebrew. The banner image is the mosaic floor of a 6th c. synagogue in Jericho, showing a menorah flanked by a shofar and lulav; the inscription reads "Shalom Al Yisrael." (This synagogue was destroyed by Arab vandals a few years ago. The condition of the mosaic floor is unknown.)

Updated rally information

[ UPDATE: The J-Blogosphere is also posting rally information. ]

I've updated the rally/demo information in this post. Scroll down for particular days of the week to see what's coming up. If you were at any of these rallies and want to report, leave a comment or email me.

Dave Bender has some links about ways you can donate to children and soldiers and others in Israel impacted by the war.

RELATED: Shamirpower on rallies:

I’m asking honestly here: does this sort of thing really make the people of Israel feel supported? Safer? Calmer? How much of the rally is for world change and how much for people talking to themselves? Will a large turnout at noon on a Monday indicate something to the world that wasn’t already said?

Similar to what I asked about the Darfur rally. Are they the same? How are they different? How do you define a successful rally/demo/protest? Discuss.

its not important whats said, or what posters people carry.

What matters is the body count. 4000 people are willing to gather, at short notice, on a dismally hot DC day. That sends a message to every elected official. As do the other rallies.

Whether Israelis are aware of it, an Israeli will have to answer.

I was at both the pro-Israel rally, AND the Darfur rally. I think both were important, though the politics are different.
