“The 50th Ward is the most diverse and wonderful neighborhood in the City of Chicago. There is nowhere else where you can visit an Indian restaurant, a Kosher bakery, and a Muslim bookstore all within a few blocks. If you live here, you know how great it is. If you don’t, come on up and see what the 50th Ward has to offer!”

I led a moment of silence at City Council today in memory of the more than 1,200 innocent people who were massacred by Hamas on October 7, and in fervent prayer for the safe release of the remaining hostages.

Rosh Hashanah begins tonight, kicking off the Jewish holiday season. This has been one of the hardest years in recent history for the Jewish community, as we cope with rapidly rising antisemitism and the continuing aftermath of Hamas’s October 7 massacre.
I want to wish everyone in the Jewish community a happy and healthy New Year. May we see a time of peace and tranquility for our community and for the entire world. Shana tova u’metuka – may we all have a happy and sweet New Year! ... See MoreSee Less
