Mayor Samuel Nahmias marched at the front of more than 50,000 marchers in the Israel Day Parade on New York City’s Fifth Avenue, accompanied by his wife, Monica, their children, and Village Trustee Steven Gottesman.

Joining them were (left to right): Fourth Precinct South Auxiliary Inspector Danny Gluck, Nassau County Legislature Presiding Officer Howard Kopel, Town of Hempstead Receiver of Taxes Jeanine Driscoll, Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, NCPD Chaplain Rabbi Elie Weinstock, and Town of Oyster Bay Receiver of Taxes Jeffrey P. Pravato. Not pictured: Assemblyman Ari Brown, Radio Host Sid Rosenberg, and influencer Gabriel Boxer.

In a reel that went viral, Mayor Nahmias noted: Today, I was proud to march in the Israel Day Parade alongside my children, celebrating the unbreakable bond between America and Israel.

Standing with thousands of supporters, and with our soon to be Governor, Bruce Blakeman – we sent a simple message:

“We stand with Israel.

We stand with the Jewish people.

And we stand against antisemitism, every time and everywhere.”
