Congressman Dan Goldman, who represents a significant portion of the Jewish community in Boro Park, visited the neighborhood this week to observe the preparations for Yom Tov and meet with local community leaders and business owners. He was welcomed by community activist Avi Greenstein, along with several askanim with whom he maintains a close working relationship.

As part of his visit, the Congressman toured the Bobov Matzah Bakery, where he observed the matzah baking process and experienced the unique pre-Pesach atmosphere firsthand. The delegation then continued to Mefoar Judaica, where owner Yanky Roth warmly received him, presented a wide range of Judaica and beautifully crafted products, and gifted him a custom yarmulke.

The group then visited the Boro Park Center, where the Congressman spent time with residents and took a genuine interest in their well-being. He later joined the Met Council’s Pesach food distribution, witnessing firsthand the large-scale effort to provide essential Yom Tov supplies to local families.

Throughout the visit, the Congressman engaged with residents, who expressed appreciation for his ongoing dedication and commitment to serving the community.
