Temple Micah Monthly Vigil


In the spring of 2006, many Temple Micah members joined the national protest on the mall. The Washington Darfur Interfaith Network (DIN) asked Temple Micah to organize a vigil once a month in front of the Sudanese Embassy. This is part of their effort to get churches and synagogues across the DC area to be responsible for the vigil for 1 hour each month. And, Temple Micah stepped up to the plate as the first church or synagogue in the Washington area to volunteer.

We are responsible to get at least 10 people (not necessarily the same 10 every month) to stand in front of the Sudanese Embassy on the fourth Thursday between 12:00 and 1:00 each month. “I've done this with the DIN - it is easy and totally benign”, said David Diskin, a DIN and Temple Micah member. “Basically, all we need to do is stand there and hold some signs for one hour. It is completely peaceful and the Secret Service has complete knowledge of the protests. There is absolutely NO chance of being arrested. It is Tikkun Olam of the highest order.”

It is a simple thing but very important in order to keep the Darfur tragedy in the public's eye, in the news, and on our public officials' minds. Please join us - send an email letting us know when you can join the vigil.
