Details“In New York, Ultra-Orthodox leaders deliver votes as a block, convincing elected officials that their will is the Jewish will, whether on issues like funding yeshivas, defunding public education, policing, criminal justice, abortion, gay rights, or Israel. They are defining the Jewish agenda as right-wing and only self-interested. That is why we created an organization called New York Jewish Agenda to represent the liberal majority, because our voices otherwise aren’t heard.”
