25,000 Marched in New York to Denounce Anti-Semitism

HeadlineJan 07, 2020

Here in New York City, up to 25,000 people marched from Lower Manhattan over the Brooklyn Bridge on Sunday to denounce anti-Semitism. The march follows a surge in anti-Semitic attacks in the greater New York area, including the stabbing of Jewish worshipers who had gathered at a rabbi’s house to celebrate Hanukkah in Monsey, New York, just over one week ago. This is Gail Senten, one of the protesters Sunday.

Gail Senten: “It was wonderful. It was just very inspiring. And I hope that people recognize that we are strong and that we will not allow all this anti-Semitism, that has been rampant in New York City and in the tri-state area and in America, to continue.”
