KMOV 4 News - “Whenever event like this take place in the world … whenever there's a person who wants to declare for a group of people there's no place for them in the world and they don't accept them in any way, there's so many of us that want to stand together with a louder voice and say 'that's not true,” said Rori Picker Neiss with the Jewish Community Relations Council.
Fox 2 News - “Hundreds of people came out today on a Friday afternoon at 3 p.m. to say to you that you are not alone we are with you and we love you,” said Rori Picker Neiss, the executive director of the Jewish Community Relations Council.
Anti-Semitism kills. Racism kills. Islamophobia kills. Homophobia kills. Bigotry kills.
Each of these forms of bias uproots lives, devastates families, and destroys dreams. They kill violently and they kill painfully. Most shockingly of all, they kill indiscriminately.
As a Jewish community, we fight anti-Semitism not only to protect ourselves, and not only to protect the very soul of our democratic society, but to protect the lives of every person who lives among us and alongside us, Jew and non-Jew.
