Jews living in New York are shocked and horrified by the conflict in which Israel finds itself immersed, as they watch and wait to see what will happen.
The city’s Jewish community stands in solidarity, condemning the violence and loss of life.
Dozens of people participated in a vigil last night at Grand Army Plaza in Brooklyn. Some Jewish leaders say it is important to come together, grieve together and heal together. A big concern right now is what will happen to the hostages in Gaza.
Several emblematic places in the city and state were illuminated last night in blue and white as a show of solidarity.
As a precaution, the NYPD has deployed additional patrols outside Israeli institutions and synagogues.
Mayor Adams says there is no credible threat in the city.
US airlines have diverted or canceled all flights to Tel Aviv. It is unclear when they might resume.
