Blessed to once again celebrate Hanukkah with my 95-year-old grandmother, a survivor of the Auschwitz extermination camp and the Nazi death march. By God’s mercy, she survived and thrives, sharing her story with five generations—including great-great-grandchildren

Again I’d like to thank our community partners for their tremendous work today. Thousands came to say their final goodbyes to Rabbi Moshe Wolfson. The work of these invaluable organizations made our job tremendously easier and more efficient 🤝

This assault on a group of Orthodox Jewish children is disgusting.

Antisemitism has no home in Brooklyn, and I am grateful that the Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating this attack. My office is monitoring the situation.

Had the honor meeting Fiji’s Ambassador to the U.N. Filipo Tarakinikini @FijiMissionUN.

We discussed the Fiji-Israel relationship and his commitment to peace and security in the Middle East.

Also enjoyed an early taste of Kosher for Passover Fiji water 🤤

I commend Italy’s President, the Honorable Sergio Mattarella, for his powerful speech denouncing antisemitism as he commemorated #InternationalHolocaustRemembranceDay

It echoed remarks he gave on a visit to Auschwitz — attending the @MOTLorg — last year

In my visit to Israel, I witnessed the horrors of terrorism by Hamas.

I condemn all acts of terrorism. No one should have to live under the ongoing threat of terror. I stand in solidarity with the people of Israel and remember the victims who lost their lives.
