LA JOLLA, Calif —Expressions of love and support for Israel could be found at the Jewish community rally on Sunday, July 23, not only among the speakers who addressed the crowd, but within the crowd itself.  Here are some photos to augment the news story of the event: 

 
Flag-wavers—Hilda Pierce and Ruth Friedenberg, neighbors, waved Israeli flags that were distributed at rally, while Alan Cooper decorates his hat with the Israeli and American flags.

         
Political Shirts—Sharon Kruri displays a T-shirt distributed by Young Judaea at the rally, while Jeff
Liber poses in his Israel Defense Forces souvenir T-shirt as Leslye Winkelman stand at his side.

 
Photographer wears Young Judaea shirt, which very punnily explains the organization is a Hadassah
subsidiary.  Seated on either side of her are rally speakers Dan Gardenswartz, chairman of the executive committee of the Anti-Defamation League (in shorts) and Ken Polin, president of the United Jewish 
Federation.  Aaron Vakneen makes a tzedakah contribution for Israel, and Samuel Camhi holds sign
during rally.  Its message: "Palestinian schools teach children how to die as a martyr. Teach them Math, Science, Art, love, respect. Teach them to work.  Love your children."
