In a statement, CAIR-NY Executive Director Afaf Nasher said:
“This heinous vandalism is not just an attack on a yeshiva—it is an assault on the principles of pluralism and religious freedom that define our nation. We stand in solidarity with our Jewish neighbors to reject hatred and insist that law-enforcement and government respond with urgency, strength, and compassion.”
