The March for Israel on November 14, 2023, was the largest pro-Israel rally in United States history with over 290,000 people marching peacefully at the National Mall in Washington DC and over 250,000 participating online. The rally aimed to show solidarity with the state and people of Israel, condemn antisemitism, and demand the immediate and safe release of the hostages taken by Hamas. In this episode, Levi D’Amato and Ailee Shanes from the “Two Jews, 10 Opinions” podcast and I reflect on our experiences at the monumental rally. We discuss the struggles we are facing as Jewish student journalists and how far antisemitic media has gone. We share what Jewish pride means to us as well as what the state of Israel represents to the Jewish people worldwide. Thank you to the UF Hillel delegation for this incredible opportunity and Am Yisrael Chai!
