(New York) Tonight, New York Council Speaker Christine Quinn, LGBT Jewish groups, youth LGBT groups and others will join in remembrance of those killed over the weekend at the LGBT Center in Tel Aviv.  The vigil will take place at Congregation Beth Simchat Torah at 57 Bethune Street (between Washington/West St), Manhattan.

Earlier this week, over 150 members of the Washington, D.C. Jewish community held a vigil in the nation’s capital to show respect for a shooting attack on a gay youth center in Tel Aviv that killed two and injured 15 others. Several rabbis from different Jewish denominations and Jewish gay activists sang songs and condemned the event as a hate crime.
