Rally Slated In Philadelphia to Support Kidnapped Israeli Teens JUNE 18, 2014

A rally of support for the three kidnapped Israeli teens will take place on Thursday, June 19, at 6:30 p.m. at the corner of 16th Street and the Benjamin Franklin Parkway underneath the Israeli flag.

“It’s not political, it’s just to show support,” said event organizer Sharona Durry, who founded and directs PhillyIsrael, a grassroots organization that facilitates Israeli cultural, educational and social programming.

Prayer services and rallies of support have been held around the world for the safe return of 16-year-olds Gilad Shaar and Naftali Frenkel and 19-year-old Eyal Yifrach, all of whom were kidnapped last week while hitchhiking from the West Bank settlement of Kfar Etzion.
