The following is a message that they sent out to the community:
Dear CH Anash and Orchim,
It has been a year since the tragic massacre of October 7th, which unleashed unprecedented Jew hatred in our city and around the world. The belief that such hatred could never happen here has been forever changed.
Join fellow Jews for a Unity March to the Brooklyn Museum, followed by reciting Pesukim and Tehillim in front of the Brooklyn Museum for the safety of Israel and Jews worldwide.
Now is the time to stand in solidarity with Jews everywhere and send a powerful message: we are proud to be Jewish and unafraid to express it.
Let our voices be heard clearly. We will not shy away from being Jewish or from peacefully protesting against Jew-hatred. The Rebbe has taught us how to respond, and we intend to follow that guidance by bringing signs that encourage mitzvot and celebrate Jewish pride.
Please forward this message to your friends and family!
We must all come together and make our voices heard!
