Governor Kathy Hochul emphasized the importance of safety during the High Holy Days, stating, 'These threats are horrific and unacceptable, and targeting houses of worship on one of the holiest days of the Jewish calendar is particularly craven.' She reinforced New York's collective stand against antisemitism and violence.
In light of recent bomb threats, Governor Hochul coordinated efforts with law enforcement, saying, 'I had already directed the New York State Police to coordinate with local law enforcement to ensure the safety of all communities; this deployment will continue at least through the anniversary of the Oct. 7 terror attacks.'
Hochul acknowledged the work of law enforcement in her statement, expressing gratitude: 'Recognizing the potential for disruptions during this time of year... I had already directed... to ensure the safety of all communities.' This highlights the state's commitment to public safety during significant religious observances.
