On Tuesday, October 10th, NJ Governor Phil Murphy will attend a resident-organized candlelight vigil on the Hoboken waterfront to honor victims of Saturday’s attacks in Israel by the militant group Hamas. Read on for details about the vigil.
The Hoboken Hearts Israel vigil will take place at Pier A near the Hoboken train terminal, but on the waterfront. Organizers shared it begins at 8PM.
Per ABC 7 New York, Governor Murphy is slated to attend the event and is expected to give a speech, alongside other members of the Jewish community and several local officials.
According to Hoboken Councilwoman Tiffanie Fischer, Hoboken has the second-highest Israeli population in New Jersey. In a statement to constituents, Tiffanie said: “I personally count several as my close friends. My heart, as I know yours does too, is aching for them and their friends and family back home.”
There will also be a vigil on Thursday, October 12th in Millburn. Per Patch, Millburn released a town message saying: “The vigil is to be held on Thursday, Oct. 12 at 7PM outside Town Hall, on Town Hall Plaza. There will be candles available, or you can bring your own.”
