An estimated 10,000 people filled four blocks of Central Park West, spilling into side streets, during a rally last Monday evening organized by UJA-Federation of New York to mark the sheloshim, 30 days since the Oct. 7 massacre, and to demand the release of the hostages kidnapped by Hamas.
Speakers included actor Debra Messing and UJA-NY CEO Eric Goldstein. Israeli singer Gad Elbaz performed.
