From one corner of South Florida to the other, a growing wave of support for Israel is uniting communities.

In a show of solidarity, the Jewish Federation of Broward County organized a “Stand With Israel Community Vigil” at a Cooper City temple to honor the memories of victims.

During the vigil, attendees gathered to commemorate and express their support. The event, however, had a somber tone, as it was not a celebration but a meaningful act of remembrance.

“In normal times when we gather in support and love for Israel, we celebrate so many aspects of Israel with music, dance, games and joy. Tonight — tonight is not one of celebration,” said one speaker at the Cooper City event.

Meanwhile, the City of Pembroke Pines extended an invitation to its residents to participate in a multi-faith discussion at the City Center Plaza.

This dialogue allowed individuals from diverse backgrounds to come together and engage in meaningful conversations about the ongoing situation.
