In a citation conferred on the Orthodox Jewish Chamber of Commerce, the mayor applauded the Orthodox Jewish Chamber and NYC’s vibrant Jewish community.

My administration is committed to ensuring that people of all backgrounds, cultures, and faiths have equal opportunity to succeed and thrive, and the Orthodox Jewish Chamber of Commerce is a key ally in this mission.”

The mayor noted the broad scope and tangible impact of the Chamber’s activities and expressed his confidence that there is much more that he and the Chamber will yet accomplish together. “This organization works to support and uplift the Jewish community’s businesses and working professionals in New York and around the world,” he wrote, “and it has brought tremendous benefit to the five boroughs.
