Temple Emanu-El, a synagogue on the Upper East Side, held an outdoor Shabbat service Saturday in response to an increase in antisemitism.
Rabbis and other faith leaders were united in sending a message declaring it a"day of resolve."
"We put ourselves out here with our faith leaders to have our service and to say that we're here. We're not intimidated and we are a strong community and very proud to celebrate being Jewish," said Mo Glazman, senior cantor at Temple Emanu-El. The NYPD deployed additional resources to houses of worship across the city this weekend out of an abundance of caution.
