A group of Jewish activists from New York organised a demonstration to promote “social and economic justice” over Rosh Hashanah.
Occupy Judaism brought hundreds of people to Zuccotti Park in New York last Sunday evening.
Daniel Sieradski, the founder of Occupy Judaism, explained that many members of the group attended last year’s Occupy Wall Street protest, which drew more than 1,000 people to a Kol Nidre service.
“Occupy Wall Street is a protest and social justice movement made up of different parts. It is active in protesting against policy, trying to change policy and creating alternatives to existing policy, all working towards a more economically just society,” Mr Sieradski explained.
