Highland Park March Against Anti-Semitism Tuesday Night

HIGHLAND PARK, NJ — In response to the fatal shooting at the Poway synagogue in San Diego over the weekend, the community of Highland Park will hold a march against anti-Semitism Tuesday evening, April 30. They will then march down the hill to the Rutgers campus to join a vigil at the Rutgers Chabad House.

The march will begin at 6 p.m. at the Doughboy statue at Raritan and 6th avenues. Participants will march down the sidewalks on Raritan Avenue, under the Albany Street Bridge, into New Brunswick and finally up College Avenue to the Chabad House at Rutgers.

There, marchers will join a 7 p.m. solidarity rally that is being held with the Poway Jewish community in San Diego.

All are welcome.

Saturday's shooting at the Chabad of Poway left one woman dead and three others injured. The shooting occurred on the eighth and final day of Passover and a holiday celebration was scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. that day at the synagogue. Suspected shooter, John Earnest, 19, has been arrested and charged. According to the Poway, California Patch, detectives are investigating his link to an online manifesto where the author expresses anti-Semitic and white supremacist views and praises past mass shooters, as well as Adolf Hitler.
