New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced the establishment of the Mayor's Office of Antisemitism with Moshe Davis appointed as director. This office aims to combat rising antisemitic incidents and promote safety for Jewish New Yorkers. During a press conference, Adams revealed that antisemitic hate crimes have surged significantly. The office will function as an inter-agency task force to monitor cases, liaise with law enforcement, and propose legislative measures. Davis expressed the office's mission of supporting and uplifting Jewish communities amid ongoing challenges.
Mayor Adams emphasized the need for a new office to combat antisemitism, stating, 'we're announcing today... antisemitism cannot live and most importantly, it cannot grow.'
Moshe Davis remarked, 'I came to celebrate Jewish life in New York City... Yet, since October 7, I never imagined that part of uplifting Jewish life compels me to expand that vision.'
