Counted among the nearly 300,000 supporters who gathered on the National Mall, nine teenagers share their experiences and thoughts from the rally.

The March for Israel in Washington, D.C. drew tens of thousands of American Jews who were there to express their support for Israel, call for the release of hostages held by Hamas, and fight against antisemitism. The event aimed to bring together different types of American Jews, allowing them to interpret their support for Israel and fight against antisemitism in their own ways.

Among the attendees were nine teenagers who shared their experiences and thoughts throughout the day. Isaac Shalit, 14, from Austin, Texas, expressed his joy at seeing people from different sects and parts of Judaism coming together for Israel. Lior Markus, 16, from Toronto, Ontario, said that he hadn't felt this strong of a presence of Jews since he was last in Israel.

The rally received media coverage and bipartisan political attendance. However, it is important to note that the march is not indicative of the policy preferences of most American Jews, as attendees had various interpretations of what support for Israel looks like. The event aimed to unite Jews despite their differences and emphasize their connectivity to Israel and each other as Jews.

Overall, the March for Israel provided a platform for American Jews to show their solidarity, support, and determination to fight antisemitism.
