“New York City will never be one of those places” — Eric Adams responds to murder of Rabbi Zvi Kogan

New York City Mayor Eric Adams expressed his profound grief following the tragic and senseless murder of Chabad Shaliach Rabbi Zvi Kogan.

“I am absolutely devastated to learn about the barbaric and senseless murder of Chabad Shaliach Rabbi Zvi Kogan. Our hearts and prayers are with his wife — a native New Yorker — his entire family, and the Jewish community who is grieving right now,” Adams said in a statement.

The devastating loss has left the Jewish community reeling, and the mayor’s remarks emphasize the wider implications of the tragedy.

“This is yet another jarring reminder of how it is dangerous to simply be Jewish in many parts of the world,” Adams continued, reinforcing the city’s commitment to inclusivity and safety. “New York City will never be one of those places,” he declared, reaffirming the city’s unwavering stance against hatred and violence.

The murder of Rabbi Kogan highlights the ongoing issue of antisemitism worldwide, but also serves as a reminder of the enduring strength and unity within New York City’s Jewish community, which continues to receive support from all corners of the city.
