650 at Missouri Rally Inspired to Do ‘Mitzvahs for Israel’
Chanting “Bring Them Home,” a crowd of about 650 people gathered at Frontier Park in St. Charles, Mo., on Sunday to show their support for Israel and the hostages held in Gaza.
Rabbi Chaim Landa, co-director of the Chabad Jewish Center of St. Charles County, with his wife Bassy, opened the event with fervent words. “Silence in the face of evil is not an option,” Landa declared, emphasizing the community’s commitment to outspoken support for Israel.
Landa urged those present to undertake additional “mitzvahs for Israel,” including the more than 200 hostages being held by Hamas and other terrorist groups. Many Jewish men participated by donning tefillin, while women received Shabbat candles.
Landa’s rallying cry, “Let’s Bring Them Home,” encapsulated the event’s theme of Jewish unity and positive action.
