For those who were unable to travel to Washington DC for the #MarchForIsrael , we encourage you to watch this video which captures the spirit, unity & love of the day. We also want to thank the @JewishMilwaukee for the invitation. #BringThemHome https://t.co/fGQfjOiJb9
Happening now: a delegation of the Milwaukee area's Jewish community has left Mitchell International Airport heading for a rally in Washington D.C.
WTMJ's @vincevitrano is covering the event and will have reports throughout the day.

Glad to meet with @JewishMilwaukee and visit the @JewishMuseumMKE, which hosted 10,000 visitors last year and celebrates Jewish culture and shares the experiences of Jewish Wisconsinites in the Milwaukee area.
Thank you for having me, @JewishMuseumMKE! Wonderful to learn about Milwaukee’s rich Jewish history and talk with @JewishMilwaukee leaders about our work fighting antisemitism and bigotry.
Over 100 Jewish motorcycle riders participated in the 2023 annual “Ride 2 Remember” earlier this month. The event raised $45,000 for the Nathan and Esther Pelz Holocaust Education Resource Center, a program of @JewishMilwaukee: https://t.co/utW7Wj8nMH
Last weekend, Jewish organizations in Wisconsin came together to discuss the rise in antisemitic incidents in their state and around the country. Miryam Rosenzweig of @JewishMilwaukee explained how #LiveSecure is helping protect Jewish institutions: https://t.co/YiBQV4QeqJ
“What we’re seeing is people saying things out loud that they used to whisper,” said @JewishMilwaukee's Miryam Rosenzweig. "Through repeated exposure, hate speech and hate crime become normalized, and hateful behavior accelerates quickly." By @DionJPierre https://t.co/P3Nb42JZT7
Reported antisemitic incidents are up 494% since 2015 in Wisconsin, per a new report by the @JewishMilwaukee. When hate speech and hateful behavior become normalized, as we see on social media, Jewish people aren't the only victims — all vulnerable groups suffer the consequences.
