Agudath Israel applauds President Biden’s condemnation of Iran’s attack and his “ironclad” support of Israel’s security; his deployment of U.S troops which has helped take down most of the incoming drones and missiles; and his coordination of United G7 response to Iran’s attack.

Agudath Israel applauds Speaker Mike Johnson Hakeem Jeffries for their leadership in House passage of unprecedented security funding for Israel and for domestic Nonprofit Security Grant Program. The aid will help protect Israel and American Jews from the real, lethal dangers they face.

Agudath Israel commends the White House for calling out “protests”at Columbia University and other universities exactly for what they are: blatant antisemitism. It is not free speech; it is not political expression; it is not academic freedom; and it is not the “voice of the oppressed.” It

Horrified by the antisemitism you are seeing on college campuses? Take action today. Ask your member of Congress to support the Antisemitism Awareness Act. Thank you Congressman Mike Lawler Rep Josh Gottheimer for cosponsoring this bipartisan bill! agudah.org/action-alert-s…

Agudath Israel deeply appreciates Biden Administration’s commitment to and partnership in formulating and building on the National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism. It is a landmark approach addressing the very broad landscape of government and society. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…

Mr. President: As Israel fights Hamas, which has vowed to repeat atrocities of Oct 7; as it is surrounded by lethal threats that seek to destroy her; as the voices of antisemitic hatred are brazenly louder — now is the time to strengthen Israel, not to weaken her.

Agudath Israel commends Rep Josh Gottheimer Congressman Jared Golden and 24 other House Democrats for expressing concerns regarding Biden Administration decision to hold back weapons from Israel at this critical moment. Principled, compelling, and courageous. Kudos to all who signed on.

As I prepared to join Jewish leaders at White House to discuss countering antisemitism, my Agudath Israel colleague in Chicago shared the hate-filled notes Jewish neighbors found on their lawns/cars. How do families/children recover from the 24/7 fear this evil instills?

Agudath Israel honored to be at U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield reception honoring Jewish American Heritage. Tomorrow, at US urging, Security Council will hold first meeting since Oct 7 devoted solely to the hostages. Her message to hostages families: WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN YOU!

Agudath Israel profoundly appreciates Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism Amb Lipstadt’s lending her strong voice to this issue and her office’s efforts to address it. We will continue to work with her and others to pursue the available pathways in this case for a just judgment and sentence.

Agudath Israel rejects ICC warrants for Israeli leaders. If pursuing Hamas, which embeds weapons among civilians, constitutes crime, Hamas is then given license to cause their deaths with impunity, and harder for Israel to protect them - despite best efforts. Kudos to Pres. Biden

Honored to be at WH for #JAHM and appreciated President Donald J. Trump strong words of support. But it was hard to celebrate with pall of war and antisemitism overhead. Then @SecondGentleman reminded us that, even in most troubled of times, Jews find a way to be joyful. That is truly our heritage.

Pleased that Avi Schnall , Agudath Israel’s Director of Federal Education Affairs, participated in Dept. of Agriculture panel discussion on kosher food insecurity. He emphasized achievements/challenges re providing kosher food in Jewish school-based nutrition programs for needy students. #Jahm

Agudath Israel deeply disappointed in House SubCom’s FY25 allocation of $305m for #NSGP. Now isn’t time to take step backward to 2023 levels. With skyrocketing antisemitism, it’s time to significantly boost and sustain this vital security grant program, which helps protect lives.

Agudath Israel applauds Kristen Clarke DOJ Civil Rights Division for vigorous prosecution of antisemitic hate crimes, including a series of violent assaults on Orthodox Jews in the Lakewood NJ area. We appreciate DOJ recognition of “unique vulnerabilities” facing the Orthodox community.

Remembering the innocents brutally murdered and taken hostage a year ago for no other reason than the fact they were Jews. May Gd avenge their blood. ה׳ ינקום דמם

Agudath Israel mourns the tragic murder of Rabbi Tzvi Kogen, Hyd, Chabad emissary to the UAE, who died al kiddush Hashem, sanctifying G-d’s name. His selfless devotion and good deeds will keep him alive in the minds and hearts of the Jewish people and of all who loved him.

At WH: Honored to again see @SecondGentleman Emhoff, with whom I worked on National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism; and the iconic Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism Amb Lipstadt, with whom I worked on threats to European Jewish life. Both led unprecedented efforts to fight Jew-hatred at home/abroad.
