More than 500 people participated in Sunday’s “Walk in Support of Israel,” which commemorated the 50th anniversary of the Reunification of Jerusalem.

Even the weather cooperated with the event—a blue sky with white clouds—the national colors of the State of Israel. At noon, participants of all ages gathered on the back parking lot at the Staenberg Family Complex, 2 Millstone Campus Drive, and then walked to the four corners of Schuetz Road and Lindbergh Boulevard in a show of solidarity for Israel. The march came off without incident and there were no counter-demonstrators along the way.

After the walk, marchers returned to the pavilion in the back parking lot of the Jewish Community Center for Israeli food, catered by Kohn’s Kosher Deli, as well as lively Israeli music and remarks by event organizers and community leaders. An official proclamation from Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens was read, which expressed support for the march and rally and urged all Missourians to support the State of Israel as the only democracy in the Middle East.
