SAN DIEGO (SDJW) — The House of Israel in Balboa Park will stage a candlelight vigil 8 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 17, to sunrise Sunday, Oct. 18, in support of the victims of violence in Israel. Organizers say there will be no speeches, only a silent demonstration to demonstrate support for the victims.

It’s “a vigil to bring light to the world, doing what little we can from afar with the hope that it will tip the scales away from the darkness,” according to a flyer. “Balance darkness with your light.”

Word of the vigil was spread by the Jewish Federation of San Diego County.
