Tisha B’Av Walk for the Hostages Sunday

How is it possible that 667 days after the massacre of 10/7, 50 hostages are still held underground by Hamas?

How has Hamas managed to control the narrative in the way they have?

How has the world not insisted that all hostages kidnapped on that terrible day be released — all at once — and now?

How is Jewish grief and Jewish pain not recognized in the same way as others?

So, so much to lament for in these dark days. 

On this coming Sunday, on the most mournful day of the Jewish year, take thirty minutes to walk silently in solidarity with the hostages.

Doing so does not discount any other pain.

But please, take this short moment to recognize the agony of the hostages and their families and let us grieve together with them.

EICHA? HOW?

May the hostages held in Gaza be swiftly returned to their homes and families.

As always, this walk is not a protest; it is a peaceful walk to show solidarity with the hostages and their families, and a plea for their release.

Sunday, August 3rd marks the 667th day since 240 hostages were kidnapped from Israel and taken to Gaza. 50 of them still remain captive there, 20 who should be home with their mothers and families, and 30 who deserve a proper burial. Please – join us this Sunday to walk for all those still held hostage, and to honor those murdered and injured in Boulder on June 1. The world cannot forget. Please bring posters and wear red.

The local Boulder chapter of Run For Their Lives (part of the larger Bring Them Home Now initiative) has been walking in downtown Boulder every week since Thanksgiving, 2023. That’s 89 weeks. There are 231+ groups like ours meeting internationally and across US cities (including a local Denver chapter).

Wherever you are, whether visiting friends or family or vacationing, you can join a group and walk with them, or walk on your own and post a video in the main Run For Their Lives Facebook group, in our local FB group, or on your own feeds. The initiative’s goal is to get as much press coverage as possible for the hostages through publicizing these walks.
