This plan shows that Mayor Mamdani has listened to the concerns of Jewish New Yorkers — and put forward meaningful commitments and real funding to help keep them safe.
Our full statement on NYC's first-ever municipal strategy to combat antisemitism:
The Talmud teaches that anyone who sustains one soul, has sustained an entire world. For generations, Jewish New Yorkers have sustained our city. Today, we are launching the first-ever municipal Strategy to Combat Antisemitism.
Together, we will ensure Jewish New Yorkers are safe and celebrated. We will invest in their protection, their history, and their future.
Our safety and our thriving are tied together.

The forthcoming report from the bipartisan U.S. Commission on Civil Rights affirms what we have long said about the Trump Administration using antisemitism as a pretense for its crackdown on higher education.
Bypassing Congress to levy massive fines on universities while cutting funding to the very office responsible for protecting Jewish students and faculty shows it was never about Jewish safety, but about using that safety as a weapon to carry out its anti-democratic agenda.

Nearly half of ADL's 2025 Audit was tied to Israel. A new report from NCAR breaks down what's in that number, from Jews harassed or attacked over Israel's actions to public expressions of hostility toward Israel that ADL considers antisemitic, like 'From the River to the Sea.'

As we prepare to attend our own Yom Kippur services, we are horrified by the news of a shooting outside Sons of Jacob Congregation in Belleville, Ontario Sunday evening. As details continue to emerge, we send our immense gratitude and wishes for a full and speedy recovery to the officer wounded as he protected the synagogue. And we send solidarity and strength to the Belleville and Canadian Jewish community.

"Gutting anti-discrimination policies for most minority groups while supercharging them for Jews is hypocritical. The hypocrisy is the point. It turns civil rights law into a political protection racket, a tool with which to attack higher education and other perceived enemies." -@Jbloeffler nytimes.com/2026/09/16/opini…

CT House candidate William Gifford asks if it's antisemitic to "not like someone because they are Jewish" given "what the Jewish religion says against white Christian men."
Hiding a dangerous canard behind "just asking questions."
@CTGOP and Rep. Tim Ackert, who endorsed him, must condemn it.

As we mark this painful anniversary, we are seeing extreme voices exploit 9/11 to
renormalize Islamophobia. We know precisely where this leads – and that it makes all of our communities less safe. We all have an obligation to reject this hate.

Comparing constitutionally protected boycotts to Nazism is absurd and exploits and trivializes the memories of those killed in the Holocaust for a cheap political jab.
And to add the Islamophobic claim that "these people will force the Sharia laws on you..." is deeply harmful.

"...being an American Jew is an identity and a commitment to ritual, to belief, to story, and to an understanding of what it means to be 'othered.' It carries a responsibility to be a voice for people who don’t have one."
Ahead of the High Holidays, The Nexus Project’s Becca Israel wrote about Jewish identity and belonging amid the fight to protect our democracy. blogs.timesofisrael.com/prot…

This week, Elon Musk's America PAC launched hundreds of anti-trans ads, part of a $100 million midterm spend.
In 2024, a Musk-funded PAC ran antisemitic ads reminding Muslim voters that Doug Emhoff is Jewish.
That's not a coincidence.

Targeting trans people is wrong on its own, and we should call it out either way.
But many of the people attacking trans people & many of the people attacking Jews are the same people, using the same story.
When that's true, standing apart from each other is what they are counting on.
