Jewish people and supporters are blowing shofars — the ram’s horn used by Jews ahead of and during the High Holy Days — and whistles in London to show solidarity with the 130 hostages held by terror groups in Gaza since October 7.

The blowing lasted for 155 seconds, marking the 155 days they have spent in captivity.

The event is announced by Reform and Liberal Jewish communities in the UK.
