Malka Fenyvesi spent last Saturday morning doling out bagels and rugelach across from the Sixth & I Historic Synagogue in the District.

Then she stepped out with some 40 people in a Jewish contingent of the largest area anti-war protest since the U.S-led invasion of Iraq in March 2003.

Active with Jewish Voices for Peace, Fenyvesi helped muster the outdoor breakfast in partnership with the New York-based Jews for Racial and Economic Justice. The District native reported a warm reception from crowds along the downtown route.

'We were blowing the shofar on the march and I have to say we got very positive reactions from people, Jews and non-Jews,' said Fenyvesi, 26, a graduate student in the Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution at George Mason University."
