The Orthodox Jewish Chamber of Commerce has issued an open letter defending Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. against recent reports that claimed he criticized or sought to restrict circumcision and Jewish religious practices. The Chamber's Founder, Duvi Honig, clarified that Kennedy never linked circumcision to autism and that such reports are false and taken out of context. Honig stated that Kennedy reaffirmed his respect for Jewish traditions and denied any intent to question the practice. The Chamber explained that Kennedy's original comments were about medical research involving medications, not religious customs, and criticized the misrepresentation of his words by media and political opponents. The statement urged the public to rely on verified information and thanked Kennedy for his support of unity among faith communities.
