As mentioned earlier, the march comes in the wake of the recent shooting in the Jewish community - a shooting event in a New Jersey grocery store on December 10, in which four, three of them were murdered (and a policeman) - alongside the desecration of a memorial to Holocaust murders From other times.
A week ago, an armed African American man broke into a machete at a rabbi's home in the ultra-Orthodox city of Monsey during a Chanukah party and began stabbing those present, two of whom were evacuated in serious condition to the hospital. In another incident last week, two African-American women shouted anti-Semitic statements at an ultra-Orthodox young man (22) in Brooklyn and then violently attacked him.
New York State elected officials are expected to attend the march. The New York Jewish Federation is a major philanthropic element of the New York Jewish community. As a result, some 50,000 donors decide to give their best resources to help people in need, stimulate the passion for Jewish life and study, and strengthen Jewish communities around the world.
