Orlando Jewish community rallies for kidnapped boys

"Hine(y) ma tov u'ma-nayim, Shevet ach-im gam ya-chad," reads the first verse of Psalms 133. ""Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!"

As American Jews across the country joined together in solidarity to express concern for the three Israeli teens who were kidnapped on June 13, the Jewish Federation of Greater Orlando and the Greater Orlando Board of Rabbis organized a #BringBackOurBoys solidarity vigil for Gilad Shaar, Naftali Frenkel and Eyal Yifrah on Thursday evening, June 19.

Before a packed JCC auditorium, Ina Porth, chairwoman of the Community Relations Council, opened the vigil with words from Natan Sharansky, the former Soviet refusnik who was held captive for nine years. Sharansky visited with two of the boys' families and told them that he stayed strong because he knew world Jewry stood with him.
