Statement Graphic

We are extremely distressed to learn that two local Jewish-owned businesses were the targets of anti-Semitic vandalism. Anti-Semitism is not new, but recently, it has increased in frequency and intensity. In Westchester, we take pride in our diversity and inclusivity, and we firmly believe that hate has no home here. Today and always, the Westchester County Board of Legislators stands in solidarity with our Jewish community.
