This evening I stopped by the Woodlawn Taxpayers meeting for a community update. We worked with parks to keep the playground spray showers open this summer, held a successful shredding event, and closed numerous constituent cases!

~ $2B in added revenue gives NYC an opportunity to strengthen schools, parks, libraries, sanitation, and programs that support families and quality of life. Thank you to Speaker @JulieMenin and @NYCCouncil Finance team for their thoughtful work as budget negotiations continue.

Honored to earn the endorsement of Speaker @JulieMenin! As the first Jewish Speaker of the New York City Council, Julie Menin has broken barriers while delivering results for New Yorkers, from improving air quality and building new schools after 9/11 to implementing Paid Sick Leave.

A heartfelt thank you to the dedicated JCRC-NY team, the extraordinary NYPD, our great partners at UJA-Federation of New York, and the tens of thousands of New Yorkers who made this year’s Israel Day on Fifth Parade such a tremendous success. At its core, this parade has always been about people...our pride as Jewish New Yorkers, our enduring connection to our ancestral homeland of Israel, our gratitude for living in the greatest city in the world, New York City, and our belief in a future rooted in security, democracy, coexistence, and peace. While some individuals who attended were neither invited by JCRC-NY nor known to us in advance, participation in the parade is not an endorsement of any political figure or ideology. We reject rhetoric that dehumanizes others, fuels division, or diminishes the dignity of any human being. The values that guide our work are respect for every person, support for peace and coexistence, and a commitment to ensuring that every community in New York feels safe, supported, and respected. Yesterday was a powerful reminder that our community stands strong, proud, and united. The parade was about the people, and it always will be.

Proud to join so many friends in labor and elected officials as we rallied to support @EspaillatNY ! For years I have worked with @EspaillatNY and seen firsthand how he has stood up for his community whether it was working together on the #2020 Census or on labor & worker protection issues.

Congressman @EspaillatNY has delivered real results to improve the lives of New York families. I’m proud to support my friend, and know he’ll continue putting New Yorkers first and being a leading voice for our communities in Congress.

Not quite accurate. According to @nytimes @SallyGold, “Mamdani Vowed to Back Espaillat.” Challenging incumbents is one thing - going back on your word is another. I back @EspaillatNY not just because I made a promise, but because he is a stalwart champion for our communities.
To be clear, Espaillat and his supporters cannot clutch pearls over the mayor endorsing against an incumbent. Espaillat ran against Rangel twice, and consistently endorses challengers to incumbents. Mamdani is playing by Espaillat's own rules.

Congrats to the @NewVisionsNYC students for completing their @AuschwitzJCF Fellowship to Combat Hate! They spent the year learning about Holocaust and civil rights education, civics, and ways to recognize, confront, and prevent antisemitism, racism, and all forms of hate.

To all the privacy buffs, collectors, hoarders, sentimentalists, minimalists, junk-drawer lovers, amateur archivists, and declutterers, good morning! The Shreddersaurus will be here in Woodlawn until 12:00. Thank you @JeffreyDinowitz @jamaaltbailey @bronxbp @RitchieTorres

Right - absolutely despicable. This is a direct attack on Jewish life on campus. @TheNewSchool must not allow the student senate to be weaponized to target their Jewish population.
Despicable news. NYC’s @TheNewSchool student senate has voted to suspend Hillel’s funding & collaboration. Hillel is the center of Jewish life on campus. Not a word, of course, from NYC’s “antisemitism czar” @phylisajoy who appears to be on a perpetual “listening tour” serving as Mamdani’s official token Jew.

This week, it was reported that Jewish New Yorkers were subjected to vile antisemitism at a prominent Brooklyn institution …conduct that likely violates state and local human rights laws and warrants public attention and a response from your administration, including the NYC Commission on Human Rights. Yet I have not seen a word from City Hall about that incident. Leadership in New York requires the ability to show up consistently for all communities, especially when hate targets them here at home. Foundational to advancing any mayoral agenda is ensuring that New Yorkers of every background feel seen, heard, and protected by their mayor, which includes Jewish New Yorkers.
Last night, Israeli forces intercepted and boarded a humanitarian aid flotilla bound for Gaza in international waters off the coast of Greece — unlawfully detaining more than 175 people, including several New Yorkers. My team has been in direct contact with State and Federal partners as we work to confirm the whereabouts and conditions of these New Yorkers. This is a brazen violation of international law. Those detained must be released.

This veto is a failure for our children. Our children deserve to enter and leave school without fear or intimidation. Full Stop. When a school is forced to close early because it can’t secure its perimeter during a protest, something is broken. This happened just a few months ago in Queens. That’s why common sense legislation like the bill put forward by @EricDinowitzNYC isn’t optional - it’s essential to protecting our children while also protecting freedom to protest.
We're deeply disappointed by Mayor Mamdani’s decision to veto Intro 175, legislation that would require clear safety plans around schools. Our statement with @JCRCNY, @ADL_NYNJ, @AJCGlobal, @OrthodoxUnion, @Teach_NYS, @RabbiAssembly, @StandWithUs, @Conf_of_Pres & @URJorg.

This is an important bill for police transparency and accountability. Protesting is a fundamental right but our schools and religious institutions must be protected as well. We want to make sure that every child in every neighborhood is protected.
