Brighter days are coming! Daylight Saving Time starts at 2AM —it’s the perfect time to change your smoke & carbon monoxide alarm batteries. CO is the invisible killer, claiming too many lives each year. 60% of fire deaths occur in homes without a working smoke alarm. Save lives!

The NY AG James is urging Jewish New Yorkers to be extra cautious of discriminatory price-gouging by certain car wash businesses and other establishments overcharging Jewish consumers before Passover. This practice is not only unethical—it’s illegal ag.ny.gov/press-release/…

My office stopped Super 4 Seasons, a Rockland County car wash company, from running a scam and overcharging Jewish customers for its services ahead of Passover.    Super 4 Seasons was illegally charging Jewish customers over three times the standard price for services.

Some of the students at Florida State University (FSU) right now are the same group who survived the 2018 Parkland shooting. No student should ever have to experience this. Let alone twice. America, we gotta do better

On Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the memories of the six million Jews murdered for being Jewish.   As the world experiences a resurgence of antisemitism, we must renew the solemn pledge of #NeverAgain. Hate and antisemitism cannot be allowed to prevail.

Mazel Tov to State Senator-elect Sam Sutton on his victory! A unifying leader and lifelong advocate for the community, Sam makes history as the first Sephardic Jew elected to the NY State Senate. He’ll do an excellent job representing his district and all New Yorkers in Albany

The difference is clear: Ukraine targeted 40+ Russian nuclear-capable long-range bombers Russia targets civilian buildings across Ukraine daily, killing innocent men, women, and children. One defends freedom. The other commits war crimes They are not the same Слава Україні! 🇺🇦🇺🇸

Over 10,000 antisemitic incidents in the U.S. in 2 years. Arson at the Pennsylvania governor’s mansion on Passover. The murder of 2 Israeli embassy staff last week. Today, a terror attack on a vigil for hostages in Boulder. The least we can do is speak out. Silence is complicity.
