Today, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand made the following statement regarding the attack on Wednesday night when a car rammed into the headquarters of the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic Jewish movement in Crown Heights, Brooklyn:
“I am horrified by the violent scenes from Brooklyn on Wednesday evening, when a car repeatedly rammed into the Chabad Headquarters,” said Senator Gillibrand. “This blatant act of antisemitism is not only an attack on this one building, but an attack on Jewish people across New York and the world. Chabad headquarters is a faith home for so many, and this is a deeply disturbing act of violence. We must root out antisemitism and hatred in all forms. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Chabad-Lubavitch and Jewish community.”

From Senator Chuck Schumer:
“I am horrified by the car ramming attack on Chabad Headquarters in Crown Heights. 770 is not simply a religious institution, it’s an important spiritual home for the Chabad Jewish community, and this antisemitic attack against it is deeply disturbing. I am grateful no one was hurt and that the perpetrator is apprehended. As we have to say far too often, antisemitism must have no place in NYC, in America, or worldwide and we must confront and conquer it whenever and wherever it occurs.”
