More than 1,100 people gathered at a solidarity rally in New York City to support Park East Synagogue, which was recently targeted by a hostile protest. The demonstration last month, held outside the synagogue's school, alarmed Jewish New Yorkers due to threatening chants and its proximity to the house of worship. At the rally, Rabbi Arthur Schneier and other community leaders called for unity and urged lawmakers to pass legislation restricting protests at religious sites. Attendees carried signs denouncing anti-Zionism and thanked police for their protection, while Jewish reggae artist Matisyahu performed for the crowd. The event reflected growing concern over rising anti-Zionist sentiment and debates about the safety of Jewish institutions in the city.
