Gathering of unity and light to support Israel Oct. 11

The Chabad Jewish Center of Mission Viejo is inviting community members to a gathering of unity and light to support Israel at 6 pm on Wednesday, October 11 at the Village Green.

The event will show solidarity with the people of Israel who suffered a horrific terrorist attack that claimed the lives of more than 1,000 people and wounded thousands more.

“Through our unity and light, we will do what we can to send them our love and support during this most difficult time,” said Rabbi Marcus.

City officials and other community leaders will speak and participate in the candle-lighting ceremony.  The Village Green is located at 24932 Veterans Way.
