The recent displays of antisemitism in Palm Beach County show that hatred of Jews is not historical and distant but is here and now. Agitators from outside our community have distributed hateful leaflets and projected bigoted anti-Jewish messages and symbols on buildings.
This
is not just an issue for the Jewish community, it's an issue for all of us. When one group is targeted, it undermines the fabric of our society and the very principles upon which this great nation was founded.
That's why I'm hosting a town hall.
This event will be livestreamed for those unable to attend the town hall. Visit Palm Beach County's
