The Far Rockaway Jewish Alliance announced its endorsement of Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz in her re-election bid just days ahead of Passover, during which time the NYPD will deploy additional resources at synagogues around the five boroughs.
Katz greeted members of the Alliance, one of the borough’s largest Jewish political organizations, at Beach 9th Street on the Rockaway Boardwalk on March 31.
“With acts of antisemitism on the rise, we need a district attorney who takes these heinous crimes seriously,” Rabbi Baruch Rothman said. “District Attorney Melinda Katz not only takes these crimes seriously, but has shown a determination to prosecute criminals who target the Jewish community. We’re proud to stand with her today and endorse her candidacy for re-election.”
