Honoring Israel in NYC
Honoring Israel in NYC
At least three events in NYC have recently focused on celebrating Israel, and two of them bring awareness to the atrocities Hamas committed on October 7.

The Israel Day Parade
Since 1965 New Yorkers have gathered for The Israel Day Parade. CBS New York reported that this year’s parade on June 2 attracted 60,000.
JewishPress.com quoted Mayor Eric Adams during the event:
Our message is extremely clear – destroy Hamas. Bring home the hostages. The loudest is not the majority in this city. The majority of people support the Jewish community here, they support destroying and removing hate out of our city.
Because of tensions since the October 7 massacre, police officers showed up in droves, with orders to allow free speech but arrest any who stepped into the parade route. Except for a few pro-jihad protesters — including one holding a sign saying, “Kill hostages now” — the New York Post reported no arrests by the end of the parade.
Off-Broadway Play
Phelim McAleer, who staged the Off-Broadway play about abortionist Kermit Gosnell, is producing his newest play Off-Broadway, October 7: In Their Own Words, running through June 16. McAleer devised the script verbatim from interviews with those who experienced the atrocities on October 7.
Some from the IFA New York State Prayer Group gathered at the United Nations around the time the World Health Assembly was wrapping up. We prayed over that and several issues, putting a focus on Israel.
Nova Music Festival Exhibition
From there we went through the Nova Music Festival Exhibition on Wall Street. Organizers titled the installation “October 7 | 06:29am: The Moment Music Stood Still,” and they’ve extended its run through June 16. After walking through actual items from the festival — left behind by the 401 Jewish people Hamas murdered and the 44 taken captive — we gathered outside to pray for the Jewish people.

Pray for my granddaughter as she is going to the Nova Music festival tomorrow. May no harm come nigh her and her friend. May the Blood of Yeshua cover them and may they enjoy their time in NYC in Yeshua’s Name, Amen.
Thanks be to God Almighty honoring all Jewish people throughout NYC and every city in America 🇺🇸 🙏!
Thank you for the video. It was remarkable. It was so good to hear the prayers of people for Israel. May God bless Israel!
In the video you’ll see my bride, IFA contributing writer Joyce Swingle, praying for protection for the Jewish people from Turkey in front of the Turkish House. That was Saturday, and on Monday a Hamas operation run from Turkey was thwarted: https://israfan.com/p/israel-foils-hamas-suicide-bombing?utm_source=israfan.com&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=email-7-value-investor-ad-live-intent-2-3
Praise You, Lord, that You hear our prayers and take action!
Praise God!
Pray for Loveland, particularly the minority on council. We have our own Brant of Trump persecution here in Loveland. Five liberal members of council hired a prosecutor to charge four minority members and three prior members with a criminal act. The prosecutor found that we had not done anything wrong and declined to pursue prosecution. Pray the five majority members would come to know Jesus as Lord and Savior.
This is SO encouraging! I can’t wait to hear what Netanyhau says when he addresses Congress. Thank You, Jesus.
In the video I mention the deeper meaning behind the word Shalom. It was Gloria Robles who first introduced that to the IFA community: https://ifapray.org/blog/a-word-for-the-church-take-heart
