Public Notice from the Vaad Hakohol – Crown Heights Jewish Community Council

The Vaad Hakohol of Crown Heights has released a statement on the planned protest coming to the Crown Heights area.

Text of the notice below:

We have been informed of a planned anti-Semitic gathering scheduled for tomorrow evening (Monday) near the Barclays Center (Atlantic and Flatbush Avenues).

The Vaad Hakohol is fully updated on the situation and has been in direct contact with the relevant law enforcement and security agencies, including senior officials of the NYPD. We have confirmed to our satisfaction that a comprehensive security plan is in place, and the protesters will not be permitted to come into direct contact with the Crown Heights Jewish community.

Based on current information, the gathering is expected to begin at 7:00 PM. Residents are advised to remain aware, especially if traveling from Manhattan into Crown Heights.

We strongly urge community members not to engage with the protesters. Their goal is to provoke a response that could bring negative consequences to our community.

Please continue with regular activities and remain alert.

The Vaad Hakohol will continue to monitor the situation closely and will issue further updates if necessary.
