Proud moment for all of Brooklyn!
Mazel Tov to our great friend, Congressman Hakeem Jeffries, on this historic achievement. The JCC celebrates with you - a true friend of our community!
Tonight belongs to Brooklyn!
Hakeem Jeffries is set to make history as the next Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives!
When the Satmar community needed a friend and an ally, he was there. Tonight, we celebrate with him!
He will make an incredible Speaker.
Mazel Tov, Mr. Speaker-to-be!

The Williamsburg Jewish community is deeply grateful to the NYPD for their exceptional dedication throughout the High Holidays.
Under the leadership of Commissioner Jessica Tisch, Chief of Department Michael LiPetri, and Brooklyn North Chief Mark Vazquez, officers from the 90th, 79th, 94th, PSA 3, and 88th Precincts worked tirelessly to ensure our safety.
Thank you for your unwavering commitment to our community!

Great example of teamwork delivering for families!
Thank you @GovKathyHochul, @NYCMayor @ZohranKMamdani & our Councilman @LincolnRestler for making this happen. 10,000+ families on the waitlist will now receive child care vouchers - a huge win for our community!
Huge shoutout to Councilman @LincolnRestler for making child care a top priority and never letting up until families on the waitlist got the help they needed. Lincoln is more than a councilman. He’s a relentless fighter, a true champion for families, children, and our communities
Chag Sameach & welcome, Mayor @NYCMayor Zohran Mamdani!
Thank you for celebrating the holiday with Jewish community leaders in Williamsburg and for your strong support for the Jewish community.
In a special moment, the Mayor took part in a Kinyan with a Gartel to grant permission for all public Sukkahs on city property in NYC to be owned properly according to Torah law.
Your friendship means the world to us!
"Anyone who sustains one soul has sustained an entire world."
Thank you @NYCMayor Mamdani for making history with NYC's first-ever Strategy to Combat Antisemitism. For generations Jewish New Yorkers have sustained this city - today you sustained us. From safety to shuls, schools & culture, you are ensuring Jewish life thrives. Our JCC proudly stands with you.
The Talmud teaches that anyone who sustains one soul, has sustained an entire world. For generations, Jewish New Yorkers have sustained our city. Today, we are launching the first-ever municipal Strategy to Combat Antisemitism.
Together, we will ensure Jewish New Yorkers are safe and celebrated. We will invest in their protection, their history, and their future.
Our safety and our thriving are tied together.
Mazel Tov to Williamsburg Shomrim on the new addition to their fleet!
Day and night, weekday and Shabbos - their dedicated volunteers are on patrol keeping our community safe.
Thank you for your mesiras nefesh for all of us! #Williamsburg
Precision policing works! Thank you @NYPDnews @NYPDPC and all the brave members of the NYPD for keeping our city safe and removing over 3,000 guns from our streets this year. We appreciate you!
Precision policing is working.
More than 3,000 guns have been removed from our city so far this year.
Make no mistake— this type of success is only possible because of the tireless and brave work of the members of the NYPD.

We welcome the decision by National Grid to freeze delivery rates through March 2028 with their Rate Stabilization Plan. Families and community organizations across Williamsburg will benefit from greater certainty in their energy bills as many continue to face affordability challenges.
National Grid has been a valued partner to the JCC of Williamsburg and the broader community, and we are grateful for their continued commitment to supporting local families and investing in the neighborhoods they serve.
Big thanks to Chaveirim Emergency Services for their quick thinking & action! Saved Williamsburg from a potential gas explosion disaster. Appreciate @Williamsburg365 for sharing this.

Kuwaits got palm trees and we're here in NY dealing with snow... Thanks, Mr. Mayor @ZohranKMamdani, and your amazing agencies like @NYC_DOT - we benefit from your hard work all year round, especially now during this blizzard. Stay safe out there, and thank you for your hard work!
There are 6,300 miles of streets in NYC
That’s like plowing from here to Kuwait
Not that Kuwait needs that sort of thing

Cold weather is here again! Read the @FDNY for safety reminders – keeping NYC safe and warm this weekend. Don't let the cold catch you slipping! Stay smart, stay safe.
It is going to be another cold weekend ❄️🥶
The FDNY urges New Yorkers to safely prepare for the inclement weather.
-Plug space heaters directly into the wall outlet.
-Never plug them into power strips or extension cords as they can overheat and start a fire.
-Only one appliance should be plugged into an outlet at a time.
-Keep a space heater at least three feet away from combustibles.
-Turn off when you leave a room or go to bed.
