The mission of the group is to “win the hearts and minds of non-Jews and Jews through powerful positive messaging and partnerships, motivating and equipping them to be defenders of and upstanders for Jews,” according to the group’s website.

Kraft lit the opening torch at the beginning of the march, the report noted.
