DENVER — More than a thousand people gathered for a community vigil at Temple Emanuel in Denver Monday evening to"Pray for Peace in Israel."
In Gaza, authorities say more than 600 people have been killed and thousands more hurt, with dozens of Israelis taken hostage. Dr. Dan Leshem, director of the Jewish Community Relations Council at JEWISHcolorado, grew up in an Israeli household. “The Jewish community here, and the Israeli community here, is watching all of this gruesome brutality over and over, and video after video. So, I liken it to how I felt on the morning of September 11," Leshem explained."They are feeling terrorized on an individual level, and scared for their own life in a way that I haven't seen them before, and scared for their country.
Leshem called the Israel-Palestine complex one of the greatest historical tragedies that the world has confronted.
