It was a great honor, and it made our annual Kuf Alef Kislev celebration especially special.
Last night marked Kuf Alef Kislev, the 81st anniversary of the Satmar Rebbe Joel Teitelbaum’s escape from Nazi-occupied Europe. His rescue and later founding of the Williamsburg Hasidic community helped shape the future of our city. These celebrations recognize that history and

Thank you, Governor Kathy Hochul, for visiting the Machne Bais Rochel Satmar girls’ camp and for all you have done to support and defend Jewish education. We are forever grateful.
Thousands of girls, staff, and Satmar community leaders were honored to welcome a friend and ally of the Jewish community, Governor Kathy Hochul, at the Machne Bais Rochel Satmar girls’ camp in the Catskills. Thank you, Governor, for your steadfast friendship and leadership

He explained his delay during his speech, he’d just come from a Malcolm X street renaming in Harlem that ran late, you heard it because you were standing right next to him. They’re not campaign volunteers; they’re grassroots supporters acting on their own to back the Mayor.
Why is @ericadamsfornyc sending campaign volunteers to a street co-naming event that my office put together? Not only is he running one and a half hours late, but he’s politicizing an event that’s supposed to be for the family of someone who passed away.

Made my way back to Williamsburg to visit with some of the kids and their families who have been impacted by the Bedford Avenue bike lane. While we are working to improve safety, some are trying to stand in the way — but we're not losing focus of what's important: our children.

Gratitude to @NYCMayor and his incredible NYPD team for prioritizing the issue of illegal immigrants committing crimes. Rather than appreciating NYC's support, some abuse it. Taxpayers deserve safety and respect for our city. Let's ensure everyone upholds our values.
NYPD and Shomrim are on scene at Bedford Avenue and Wallabout Street where 2 illegal immigrants on a moped yanked a pocketbook from a woman before fleeing the scene. @NYPDDaughtry @NYPD90Pct

Deeply saddened by the loss of Joe Esposito, former Chief of Police. His friendship and unwavering support for the Jewish community were invaluable. Joe's dedication and assistance will be deeply missed. Our thoughts and condolences go out to his loved ones. @NYPDnews @NYPDPC
Joe Esposito was not only a friend for almost 30 years, but he was the definition of public service. He served his city on our darkest days and brightest moments, climbing the ranks from NYPD Officer to Chief of Department to NYC Emergency Management Commissioner.
