Last night, New York showed up for Israel.
More than 10,000 people came together to express unequivocal support for Israel, standing shoulder-to-shoulder on Central Park West.

It's our honor to bring our friend
@RitchieTorres
to Israel — one of the most powerful and effective pro-Israel voices in Congress.

We couldn’t be prouder to have worked with
@RitchieTorres
for over a decade — well before his election to Congress. His support for Israel is deep and authentic, and we could have no greater friend or advocate for our community.
There’s a false narrative that I am pro-Israel because of “the Jewish lobby” or “Jewish money” or whatever antisemitic tropes critics wish to invoke.
Left unmentioned is the fact that I have been pro-Israel for nearly a decade—long before I ever thought of running for Congress.…
We understand the pain of a terrorist attack in New York City.

Tomorrow I'll depart for Poland to represent NY at the commemoration of the 75th anniv of Auschwitz’s liberation & honor the 6 million victims of the Shoah.

We are deeply concerned by the uptick of antisemitism on college campuses and around New York State since the October 7th attack.
Thank you,
@GovKathyHochul
, for committing to these strong actions against hate and antisemitism. It is clear that hate has no home in New York.
We all feel the rising tide of hate — but in New York, hate will never win. Join me live in New York City as I announce our latest steps to protect New Yorkers of all faiths and background:
Our CEO Eric Goldstein speaking at Cadman Plaza: “We come here on the first Sunday in a new decade to make a statement, and any attack against an Orthodox Jew is an attack against all Jews.”
It's been three years since we've come together on the streets of New York to show our support for Israel. How great it was to march proudly with our community in the
@CelebrateIsrael
Parade! 🇮🇱
We sent 108 buses of New Yorkers to DC yesterday, and thousands more joined those buses by plane, train, and automobile.
All to come together for the largest gathering of American Jews ever and to tell the world — and our brothers and sisters in Israel —

Tomorrow, we march. We march for those who have lost their lives due to baseless hatred. We march to show the world that we refuse to cede to hate. We march to make it known that we are PROUD to be Jewish. We march because an attack on one of us is an attack on all of us. (1/2)
UJA,
@JCRCNY
, and our joint Community Security Initiative call on
@Columbia
to restore order and ensure campus is safe and secure for all Jewish students.
We’ll continue to support our partner
@cbhillel
and the Kraft Center for Jewish Student Life in any way necessary.
Excited about our rally in Cadman Plaza after the march! It will feature performers and speakers from a wide range of communities, both Jewish and non-Jewish. Note: There will be no politicians speaking at the rally.
25,000+ in New York on October 10.

Today is the anniversary of the Tree of Life synagogue shooting. As we mourn, we're reminded of the toll of hate in Poway, Jersey City, Monsey, and Colleyville. On campuses and across social media.
We're committed to combating antisemitism and anti-Zionism. Join us.

As our CEO Eric Goldstein reminded us at today's rally, “There’s a rapidly growing amnesia across the world about what happened in Israel on Oct 7. And there’s a rapidly growing amnesia across the world about the plight of the hostages and their families.
March for Israel. March to free the hostages. March against antisemitism.

Thank you,
@GovKathyHochul
, for your continual support for Jewish students and commitment to protecting their safety and right to a campus free from harassment.
This morning I went to Columbia University and convened City Hall, NYPD & Columbia’s President to discuss the need to fight antisemitism and protect public safety.
The recent harassment and rhetoric is vile and abhorrent. Every student deserves to be safe.
Nearly 300 people tuned into our insightful conversation “Encountering Antisemitism and Anti-Zionism on Social Media.” Thank you to those who listened & learned and to our moderator

Today we distributed more than 350 kosher Shabbat meals to individuals and families in need who are still under quarantine in Westchester, the Bronx, and Long Island. 📦 Thank you to our wonderful volunteers who, on short notice, made themselves available to make the deliveries.

Fighting antisemitism means fighting for our future — and everyone’s future.
As
@StateSEAS
told 1,000+ members of our community, we can’t just be Jewish in defense of antisemitism. We must remember our joy, too.
Watch her full conversation here:
“Holy sh*t. We stopped a synagogue shooting.”
@VanityFair
goes in-depth to reveal how our Community Security Initiative thwarted would-be synagogue attackers last November — and how UJA is combating rising antisemitism and protecting our community.
As the nation faces a spike in antisemitic hate crimes, one under-the-radar security group scans for hints of would-be threats in and around New York City—and offers a model for how to combat violence against Jewish targets.
The story of Purim is one that’s 2,500 years old — and 170 days old.
We’re keeping the story of triumph over persecution close to our hearts as we celebrate this year.

“I’m fearlessly and forcefully pro-Israel. I refuse to live in fear of the extremes.”

spoke to our community about his trip to Israel with UJA. His message? Israelis are not alone. The Jewish community is not alone. And he won’t be silent about his solidarity.
We are horrified to learn about the stabbing of a Chabad emissary outside of a Boston synagogue today. Our hearts are with the victim and his family, and we pray for his speedy recovery as more details unfold about this attack.
Our relief for refugees goes beyond Ukraine's borders. Our Head of Development, Mark Medin, welcomed a group of 115 Ukrainians arriving in Israel on a

Statement by Michael S. Miller, Executive Vice President and CEO of the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York (JCRC-NY) on NYC DSA Questionnaire:
That the NYC DSA would require candidates to pledge, if elected, not to travel to Israel is despicable.
