Prayer assemblage at Bader Hillel Academy in support of Jewish people; Rally for Palestinian people at Milwaukees Zeidler Square

MILWAUKEE – As the Israel Hamas war rages, tension and support for both sides of the conflict were seen in the Milwaukee area Wednesday.

At Zeidler Square downtown, a large group rallied in support of the Palestinian people.

“It’s a mixture of fear and as well as pride in the Palestinians,” said Leen Mortada. “We all have to stand together in order to strengthen the voices of those that are unheard.”

“The important thing is that Palestine should be free,” said Remi Schueler with the Milwaukee Anti-War Committee.

In Fox Point, Jewish children and parents prayed for peace at the Bader Hillel Academy.

“The Jewish nation is proud and strong, and we are faithful, and we believe that good will come out of this,” said Mushka Lein, Chabad of the East Side director.

“Children are so innocent and so pure, so when they pray to the heavens, we know that God will answer their prayers,” said parent Leah Stein.

The children wrote down mitvzahs, or good deeds, they promised to do.

“Israel is in a lot of danger. When you do good deeds, it will make the danger stop,” said Mendel Stein, Leah’s son.

Shielded from the terrors of war, while each side seeks different outcomes, they agree they do not want to see innocent lives lost – and are heartbroken by civilian deaths.

“Keep praying for good, for peace,” said Leah Stein. “We need this more than ever.”

More events like Wednesday’s are planned for the coming days as the war continues.

'This is my pub': Packers Fans fill Moran’s in South Milwaukee for Thanksgiving watch party

SOUTH MILWAUKEE — It was all about the Packers Thursday night at Moran’s Pub on Thanksgiving. Dozens of fans spent the end of the holiday cheering on Green Bay as they took on the Miami Dolphins.

Moran’s invited TMJ4 to check out their special watch party and soak in the atmosphere.

Deanna Olson, a devoted fan, referred to the pub as her home. “This is my pub,” she said. “This is my hometown, South Milwaukee, born and raised. I live here, I love it, and I always cheer on my Packers. I’ve got to bring Grandpa’s flag, and here we are.”

That flag has become a lucky fashion statement of sorts for Olson.

“We went ahead and put this on as an ascot, and then we beat the Bears, so the ascot has to come back,” she said.

Olson wasn’t the only fan relying on a good luck charm Thursday night.

“I always have my Packer purse. Always during Packer season, I’ve got to make sure that I carry this,” said Katie “Grammy” Hilpert.

Hilpert was joined by her daughter and granddaughter. Together, they bleed Green and Gold. Moran’s is her go-to pub, making the game even more enjoyable.

“Oh, they’re my boys. I’m very thankful because they have had a little better of a season, but we’ll take what we can get,” said Hilpert.

During the game, fans had the chance to play games and participate in raffles.

Both Hilpert’s and Olson’s lucky charms paid off as the Packers secured the win.

While Hilpert was grateful to cheer on her beloved Packers this holiday, simply coming together at the pub was already a guaranteed victory.

“What are you thankful for?” asked TMJ4’s Mike Beiermeister.

“Grandchildren, children. Life in general is really good, really good right now,” Hilpert replied, embodying the spirit of gratitude on this Thanksgiving Day.
