Hundreds Attend Wellesley Event in Support of French Jews

Over 450 people crowded into the Temple Beth Elohim in Wellesley on Wednesday evening for a 90-minute service featuring local Jewish leaders, who described the event as an unequivocal message of solidarity with Jews worldwide following the terrorist attacks on Jews and others in Paris by Islamist extremists.

The Boston Globe reported that in pledging support for French Jews, a half-dozen leaders spoke while screens showed pictures of the 17 people slain in the recent terror attacks, with captions such as “Je suis Jean Cabut” and “Je suis Yoav Cohen.”
