Israel Parade in NY Drew 100,000, Broke Records

The Israel Day on Fifth parade in New York City on Sunday drew more than 100,000 attendees, “breaking all previous records,” the UJA-Federation of New York stated on Monday.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.), city mayor Eric Adams and state attorney general Letitia James also attended the annual event, “demonstrating their love and support for Israel, its people and its culture,” per the UJA Federation.

The parade was conducted with a serious security presence, with the NYPD blocking off the park side of 5th avenue along the parade route. The protest section was moved north to a location after the end of the parade route, to minimize interaction between parade attendees and the protesters. Baruch Hashem, only one incident was reported to have taken place.
