Pro-democracy rally for Israel at the US Supreme Court

I covered a rally for democracy in Israel at the US Supreme Court, Washington DC. It was organized by Unexeptable- most of the attendees were Israeli expatriates, with numerous American Jewish supporters in attendance. It was loud, vigorous, passionate, and peaceful. Hatikva, the Israeli national anthem,  was sung in closing.

The rally was to support the hundreds of thousands currently demonstrating in Israel to preserve democracy there.

A shofar was blown, as part of the sacred practices for the month of Elul, and as a call for justice. 

It’s interesting that the last time I photographed a shofar being blown on Capitol Hill, it was, on Jan. 6, 2021 - a far different occasion.
