NYC mayor vows to protect Jewish communities after synagogue massacre
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleNew York Mayor Bill de Blasio is joining the city’s religious leaders and other elected officials to condemn the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting and vowing to protect the city’s Jewish communities from violence.
The Democrat speaks outside a Manhattan synagogue this afternoon with Muslim, Jewish and Christian leaders, including Roman Catholic Cardinal Timothy Dolan and the Rev. Al Sharpton.
De Blasio says the people of New York stand with the 11 victims of Saturday’s shooting and their families. He says, “Violence against people because of their faith does not represent our values.”
De Blasio says city police will be out in force to protect synagogues and Jewish centers.
