Representatives from the Jewish Federations of Dutchess, Orange, & Ulster Counties Present

Rep. Pat Ryan with Thank you Letter for Supporting Israel, Fighting antisemitism. 

 

KINGSTON, NY, January 17, 2024- Just over 100 days since Hamas’s brutal attack on Israel, representatives from the Jewish Federations of Dutchess, Orange, and Ulster Counties presented Rep. Pat Ryan and his staff with a thank you letter, with nearly 400 local signatures, for his ardent support of Israel’s right to exist, his ongoing fight against antisemitism, and his continued efforts to free hostages still held by Hamas, including American citizens and Hudson Valley residents.  The Jewish Federations peacefully presented their thank you letter at Rep. Ryan’s Kingston office, which was besieged by anti-Israel protestors nearly two weeks ago.

 


“We’ve seen the increasingly threatening anti-Israel protests across this country, and we came today with an important message: Just because an opinion is voiced loudly does not mean it's accurate or representative of us all. We represent hundreds of Hudson Valley constituents who proudly stand with Congressman Ryan and thank him for his continued support of Israel, as well as his work to combat antisemitism in the Hudson Valley.” – Karen HochhauserExecutive Director, Jewish Federation of Dutchess County.
