JTA: Over 2,000 Germans attend kippah rallies in Berlin and other cities

April 25, 2018

More than 2,000 Jews and non-Jews attended “Wear a Kippah” rallies in Berlin and other German cities to protest anti-Semitism.

The protests on Wednesday come in the wake of a Syrian asylum seeker’s attack on a non-Jewish man wearing a skullcap in the German capital last week.

Jews were joined at the rallies by Christians, Muslims and atheists, many of whom wore kippahs in solidarity.
