Colorado Jewish communities come together for Clean Speech campaign

Since Hamas’ first attack on Israel on Oct. 7, the news has been flooded with reports of tragedy.

More than 1,400 people — mostly civilians killed during the Hamas incursion — have died in Israel. Over 200 Israelis and foreigners were captured during the initial attacks, becoming prisoners of Hamas.

As of Sunday, more than 8,000 people have been killed in Gaza, according to the Health Ministry run by Hamas.

Jewish communities in the United States are currently facing a battle of morality, negativity and tragedy, constantly pressed with the stress and trauma surrounding the war, according to advocates.

More than 70 Jewish communities have banded together to implement a “Clean Speech” campaign beginning WednesdayNov. 1 and lasting the entire month. The campaign of positive-enforcing efforts looks to “strengthen unity and focus” of Colorado Jews’ “individual and collective abilities to value and honor each other,” according to a press release from Clean Speech Colorado.
