Thousands of Jews gathered in more than 100 cities across North America to show solidarity with Israel on Sunday. Sens. Chuck Schumer and Hillary Clinton, who both represent New York, appeared at the flagship gathering of nearly 1,000 people at the 92nd Street Y in New York. A live simulcast featured Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Foreign Minister Shimon Peres. The gatherings were sponsored by the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, the United Jewish Communities and the Jewish Council for Public Affairs.
