New York leaders blast ‘vile’ antisemitic rhetoric during protest outside Manhattan synagogue

Mayor Eric Adams and other city leaders have condemned Wednesday night’s protest outside a Manhattan synagogue as “totally unacceptable,” after hundreds of demonstrators rallied against a Jewish immigration organization’s event inside the Upper East Side house of worship. 

Some 200 protesters gathered at 7 p.m. on Nov. 19 outside the historic Park East Synagogue, where Nefesh B’Nefesh, an organization that assists Jewish immigration to Israel, held a scheduled program.
