I attended a South Bay candlelight vigil tonight at the Manhattan Beach Pier to demonstrate solidarity with the people of Israel and their war against Hamas terrorists.

The Pier was lit up blue and white to support Israel. Thanks to the Jewish Community Center of the South Bay for hosting the event and to Manhattan Beach City Councilmember Amy Thomas Howorth for inviting me.  Former Torrance Mayor Pat Furey and Temple Emet Rabbi Didi Thomas also attended.
