Bring Israel’s Abducted Soldiers Home Now!
World Solidarity Day in Chicago
Students Advocate for Soldiers’ Release | View More Photos
UIC students in action
OCT. 30 — On a windy day at the University of Illinois at Chicago, students who wandered into the campus quad heard something that definitely was not the wind. It was Israeli music, and it was coming from a table where students were gathered around a large sign which read: “Bring Israel’s Soldiers Home Now: Gilad Shalit, Ehud Goldwasser, Eldad Regev.”
Students who approached the table learned more about the Israeli soldiers who were abducted by terrorists and have been held in captivity for more than a year. They heard how the terrorists have refused to grant these young men the rights which are accorded to all prisoners by international law, including Red Cross medical treatment and the right to communicate with their families.
The students organized the event as part of World Solidarity Day, a global effort organized by the World Zionist Movement, Hagshama, and the Student Forum, which took place in 72 communities around the world on October 30.
Also as part of the day’s events, the students participated in a Lunch and Learn discussion of the abduction of the soldiers led by Deborah Fishman, National Program Director of AZM, and held a candlelit vigil for the soldiers and their families.
Vizion is a network of Jewish professionals that come together bi monthly for professional development and networking. There are currently Vizion groups in Chicago and NY with one being established in LA. Members are expected to be active in the Jewish/Zionist/Israel world.
Meetings consist of professional development and opportunities to network.
The Chicago ViZion group met on March 30 and heard Dyonna Ginsburg, the Director of Bema’aglei Tzedek, an Israeli NGO that uses educational tools and social action campaigns to create a more just Israeli society inspired by Jewish values.
