NY Jews honor Palestinians killed in Gaza during Yom Kippur
An event bringing together Jews and local residents was held in New York City to observe Yom Kippur, during which participants expressed solidarity with Palestinians and protested against Israel's practices in Gaza. The event included speeches and addresses, the placement of stones on cards bearing the names of Palestinians killed in Gaza, as well as the Jewish mourning ritual called "Kriyah," which involves tearing garments as an expression of grief. Since 2024, this annual event in Brooklyn aims to transform Yom Kippur into a space for mourning and remembrance for the victims of the Gaza war, amidst growing discussions within American Jewish circles about Israeli policies and calls to end the war.
