Nashville, TN — Community leaders, elected officials, faith leaders, and supporters of Israel from across Tennessee will gather for the “Tennessee Stands with Israel Rally” on Sunday, April 12, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at Centennial Park in Nashville.
The rally is being organized to demonstrate strong and unified support for Israel, to stand against rising anti-Semitism, and to promote solidarity between Tennessee and the Jewish state during a time of heightened global tensions.
The event will feature a diverse lineup of speakers, including state legislators, religious leaders, and advocates, as well as patriotic and spiritual elements honoring both the United States and Israel.
The program will begin with welcome remarks by Laurie Cardoza-Moore of Proclaiming Justice to The Nations (PJTN), a nonprofit evangelical Christian Zionist organization dedicated to educating Christians about their biblical responsibility to stand with Israel and our Jewish Brethren in the face of rising global anti-Semitism.
Following PJTN’s opening, we will recognize participating organizations, including David Zilberman of the Friends of the Tennessee Israel Caucus; Daryl Hedding of the SHAI Fund; Katie Mirin of the Nashville chapter of Make Iran Great Again (MIGA); and Rabbi Yitzchok Tiechtel of Chabad of Nashville.
The Nashville Chapter of Make Iran Great Again (MIGA) will be participating to express solidarity with the people of the United States and Israel, and to stand in opposition to the current Iranian regime. MIGA has gained attention as a political slogan and advocacy movement supporting change in Iran’s governing system.
Highlights of the program include:
- Opening Prayer by Rabbi Saul Strosberg of Sherith Israel Congregation
- Performances of the U.S. National Anthem by Cindy Hestla and Israel’s Hatikvah by Crystal Buchalter
- Remarks by Tennessee leaders including State Senator Mark Pody, State Representative Chris Todd, and State Representative Scott Cepicky, Chairman of the House Education Committee
- Addresses from faith leaders including Rabbi Laurie Rice (Congregation Micah) and Pastor Greg Locke with Global Vision Bible Church
- Presentations by advocates and international voices, including David Zilberman (Israel) and representatives from the SHAI Fund and MIGA
The rally will conclude with closing remarks by Laurie Cardoza Moore, President of Proclaiming Justice to The Nations.
Organizers encourage all Tennesseans and Supporters of Israel to attend and stand in unity during this important time.
