Over 1,000 people gather in New York City near a synagogue targeted in a vitriolic protest late last month.
The protest, near Park East Synagogue, is organized by Jewish groups led by the UJA-Federation of New York.
The synagogue’s rabbi, Holocaust survivor Arthur Schneier, says the protest was a targeted act of intimidation against the Jewish community.
“United we prevail, divided we fail,” he tells the crowd. “Be strong. Let us strengthen one another.”
