NYJA Brought the Contested Race for Congress in NY-12 to the Jewish Community!

Topics discussed last night included those of particular interest to the New York Jewish community, such as AIPAC’s role in the midterm elections, the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Movement), rising antisemitism, and the U.S.-Israel relationship; in addition, each candidate discussed their respective records and why they think they are best positioned to represent the newly created 12th congressional district, how they differ from their opponents, what they most love about New York City, letter grades for President Biden and Mayor Eric Adams, and their favorite bagel order.

NYJA co-sponsored the event with the Forward, the Temple Emanu-El Streicker Center, the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York, the Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan, and the Lincoln Square Synagogue.
