Anti-Zionist groups have called for a protest outside Park East Synagogue in Manhattan, targeting an event hosted by Nefesh B'nefesh, an organization that facilitates Jewish immigration to Israel. The protest, organized by Pal-Awda and supported by other activist groups, brands the synagogue event as a 'settler recruiting fair' and accuses participants of supporting settlement on contested land. While protests against Israel have been frequent in New York City since October 2023, demonstrations directly outside synagogues remain uncommon but are often intense. The planned protest has prompted some right-wing Jewish activists to consider counter-protests, and similar demonstrations in the past have led to legal disputes over freedom of worship. The Jewish community has voiced concerns about how incoming city leadership will address such protests in Jewish neighborhoods.
