The Rev. Kevin Beebe pours lemon water on the ground at Kenosha’s Eichelman Park during a demonstration and walk to cleanse the community of antisemitism on Saturday. The event was organized by Congregations United to Service Humanity and local faith leaders. Eighteen local religious leaders endorsed a statement condemning incidents of antisemitism in the community, including five waves where fliers were left in driveways. “As faith leaders, as people of the God of all, we stand solidly with Beth Hillel Temple and the rest of the Jewish community in Kenosha,” the statement read in part. “As community leaders, as people of the city and county of Kenosha, we ask that our public safety officials take seriously and investigate thoroughly these threats, these attacks on our community. Today it is just fliers. Tomorrow it could be something much worse.” LOOK: To see additional photos, point your smartphone camera at the QR code, then tap the link.
