In challenging times, a leader’s character is revealed not by speeches but by actions. 

After October 7, when the Jewish world reeled from horror, Congressman Dan Goldman didn’t hesitate. He reached out directly to our community providing federal assistance. His staff worked long hours helping stranded travelers return from Israel. He ensured our shuls receive vital federal aid by leading the charge on expanding security grants. He spoke boldly in the halls of Congress, defending Israel even as colleagues wavered.

Congressman Dan Goldman never pretended to be something he’s not. He might be a Democrat, but he is also a proud Jew. He is proud of his faith and refuses to bend under political pressure. When activists and progressive leaders scolded him for supporting Israel’s right to self-defense, he stood tall. When others fell silent, he spoke the truth. 

That kind of courage is rare and deserves recognition. Now, as he faces an aggressive challenge from the far left. Our community must rally.

In supporting Dan Goldman, we are not endorsing a party. We are defending our values as a community.
