Upper East Side antisemitism town hall zeroes in on anti-Israel sentiment, hate crimes, and universities | amNewYork

I delivered the opening prayer and was a panelist at @Rebecca76AD’s well attended, informative, and action oriented Town Hall on Combating Antisemitism. It was important to be gathered with all of the Jew-hatred we are confronting in NY, the U.S. and around the world. #neveragain

Here’s the NY Daily News op-ed I co-authored with the Worker’s Justice Project Exec. Dir. representing 65,000 app delivery workers, one of whom seriously injured me. Despite our differences, we found common ground to improve e-bike street safety.

With Congressman Dan Goldman this morning at his Brooklyn Office Bagel Caucus. Lots to discuss as he Co-Chairs the House Bipartisan Task Force Combating Antisemitism. Of course, I also raised the e-bike issue after yesterday’s publication of my op-ed.

Today marked the 31st anniversary of the antisemitic murder of 16 year old Ari Halberstam, ob”m, in an act of brutal terror on the Brooklyn Bridge. His mother, Devorah, never ceased to memorialize Ari and is dedicated to combatting hate through education. Am Yisrael Chai!

I’m truly grateful to my good friend Rabbi Marc Schneier for dedicating his weekly nationally broadcasted Shabbat Sermon to the subject of e-bike regulation after the injury I sustained. Toda rabba and Shabbat Shalom!.

With last night’s SNL skit, the e-bike “menace” has gone national! It’s time for the City and State legislatures to finally take action to eliminate the chaos on our streets!!.
