BROOKLYN (VINnews) – Two weeks after a vehicle was deliberately rammed near the Chabad-Lubavitch headquarters at 770 Eastern Parkway, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul visited the neighborhood Tuesday in a show of solidarity amid ongoing concerns about public safety and antisemitic violence.
Hochul was greeted by community leaders including Chanina Sperlin, Chabad spokesperson Yaacov Behrman, Devorah Halberstam, honorary NYPD commissioner of community safety, and Shmuly Rosenstein, acting chairman of the Crown Heights Jewish Community Council.
Accompanied by senior staff, including the governor’s director of Jewish affairs, Hochul toured the WLCC broadcasting room at 770 and viewed archival footage of the Lubavitcher Rebbe meeting former New York City Mayor David Dinkins.
She also stopped at neighborhood businesses along Kingston Avenue before concluding her visit at the offices of the Crown Heights Jewish Community Council, where she met with staff from its weatherization and social services departments.
Honored to accompany @GovKathyHochul on her visit to Crown Heights, where she met with community members and visited the site of the ramming attack, and toured the historic Chabad Communications Room. @TheDebbieLouis @evawyner @JakeAAdler
