Nearly 500 Israel supporters gathered in Frontier Park in St. Charles on Sunday afternoon, Nov. 19 to call attention to the hostages held by Hamas and demand their safe return. “Bring them home” was the rallying cry at the event, which moved from the park to a march down Main Street. Speakers included Rabbi Jeffrey Abraham from Congregation B’nai Amoona, Rabbi Chaim Landa from Chabad Jewish Center of St. Charles and Adam Schwadron, Missouri state representative.
