JAT: "We Stand With Israel" events will be taking place on

March 24 throughout the United States. We received a notice

of the Boston-area event from the Jewish Community Relations

Council, and a web search turned up a few links, which we

have listed and abstracted below. Other than that, we've had

a hard time finding out details about what is happening.



   We urge JAT members to support the events in their areas.

Please call your local Jewish community agency to find out

what is planned for your area. If you let us know, we will

try to send out the information.

           U.S. Jews Seek Solidarity With Israel

                    By Rachel Pomerance

NEW YORK, March 12 - As Israel grapples with a war of spirit

and terror, the organized Jewish community is launching a

new plan to show solidarity with the embattled nation.



   "Jews in the United States need an opportunity to give

expression to the broad-based support and solidarity they

feel with Israel at this difficult time, and I think the

people of Israel need to know and have it reaffirmed that

American Jewry is standing with them," said Malcolm

Hoenlein, executive vice chairman of the Conference of

Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations.



   The program is the initiative of the Conference of

Presidents, which is partnering with the United Jewish

Communities, the umbrella group of the federation system.



   The cornerstone event is slated for March 24 under the

billing "We stand with Israel." The flagship event will be

held in New York, with simultaneous gatherings in 50 to 100

communities across North America.
