George Floyd’s death at the hands of the Minneapolis police calls out to us for commemoration and response. On the evening of Monday, June 8, two weeks to the day of his murder, we invite the community to gather on the Synagogue Zoom page for a short vigil. The commemoration will begin at exactly 8:20 p.m., the moment pressure was first applied to Mr. Floyd’s neck. No words will be spoken for the next eight minutes and twenty-six seconds, the amount of time that George Floyd passed from life to death. Instead, we will view images of Mr. Floyd and peaceful protests that took place all over the country in the days following. The whole community is invited to join us.

The Zoom Meeting ID is 918-583-7121. To join by phone, dial (346) 248-7799 and enter our Meeting ID.
