Manchester march for Israel to mark a year after Hamas atrocities
Solidarity rally in support of the IDF and hostages set for Sunday October 6th in heart of city
Manchester’s Jewish community will mark the one-year anniversary of the 7 October Hamas atrocities with a march and rally.
Taking place on Sunday 6 October, hundreds are expected to gather in the city centre at 11am.
Raphi Bloom, co-chair of event organisers North West Friends of Israel told Jewish News: “Israel is under attack from all sides and Zionists are being blamed for everything bad happening in the UK.
“We are calling on the Jewish community of Manchester and the North West, together with our dear non-Jewish friends and supporters, to gather together to march through – and rally in – Manchester City Centre to show our loud and proud support for the State of Israel and the soldiers of the IDF, to call for the immediate release of all the hostages, to remember and mourn the thousands of people brutally murdered on 7 October and later on in captivity and to say loudly ‘Never Again is Now'”.
The event will welcome speakers and the relatives of a hostage family.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
