The NYPD says it has increased patrols around synagogues and other sensitive locations, with a particular focus on the upcoming Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur observances.
The Jewish New Year begins Wednesday evening, and the NYPD has increased security around synagogues as the war in the Middle East threatens to escalate following Iran’s missile attack on Israel.This year, emotions will be especially intense, as the 10 days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur includes Oct. 7 — marking the one-year anniversary of the Hamas attack in Israel.
One distinctive example is in New York City, where Jews who oppose Zionism and support pro-Palestinian causes will convene for an evening service as Rosh Hashanah begins on Wednesday.Leading the service will be Rabbi Andy Kahn, executive director of the American Council for Judaism – an 82-year-old organization focused on Judaism as a religion as opposed to a nationality.
