Facing a growing number of antisemitic incidents in New York City, new City Council Speaker Julie Menin unveiled on Friday a plan to combat antisemitism, including education, security and funding.
The first Jewish speaker in the city’s history, Menin came to the Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust on Jan. 16 to explain the five-point plan, which includes funds for Holocaust education, support for private school security, legislation to address discriminatory misinformation, providing a safe zone around houses of worship, and tracking antisemitic incidents.
