October 7 was the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust. And now, antisemitism is on the rise while hundreds of hostages captured by Hamas are still missing. Now’s the time to take a stand. We’re marching on or near the National Mall for a 1 p.m. rally in Washington D.C. on Tuesday, November 14 to show our support for Israel, for freeing the hostages and to combat antisemitism. This march is our chance to have our voices heard. For more information, please visit the March for Israel website.
Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh will provide buses leaving early Nov. 14 and returning the same day. Departure time is 5:30 a.m., subject to change. Please arrive at 5:00 a.m. to allow time to load the bus. Choose from three options:
- East End/Oakland (largest capacity)
- North Hills

Buses are limited to people aged 12 and over. Each teen of age 12-17 must be accompanied by at least one adult legal guardian per teen who will be responsible for their welfare. This event is nonrefundable. You must agree to the waiver terms in order to attend this event.
