I stand with the people of this County in condemning this attack and ask all to offer their thoughts, hopes and prayers for a speedy recovery for the victims of this heinous crime. As a former Police Commander, people need to know that law enforcement in Rockland will leave no stone un-turned as they bring those guilty of this crime to swift and severe justice.”

“I was shocked and deeply saddened by a horrific and disturbing act of mass violence at a rabbi’s home in Monsey. We have seen an increase in anti-Semitic attacks and heard troubling rhetoric. We must be extremely forceful in our denouncement of such hate or violence. Everyone should be able to worship safely in this country. I stand with the Jewish community in this time of grief and pray for those injured and their families.”

“I saddened and angered by the horrific anti-Semitic attack that occurred in Rockland County during a Hanukkah Party.
This act of hate and terror that targeted what otherwise should have been a joyous holiday celebration is an attack on our American values and the fabric of our entire community and nation.
Words alone will not repair the damage done by this vile act of hate. We must ensure anti-Semitism is ended and that our Jewish neighbors and all citizens are free to worship without fear or worry. We must use all available resources so that we reach a point where this never happens again, including ensuring that the response to and consequences for these evil acts are swift and substantial.”
Orange County Executive Steve Neuhaus
