welcome to the 50th Ward
The most diverse and wonderful community in the City of Chicago.
Meet Alderman Debra Silverstein
Hello to all my friends and neighbors in the 50th Ward. I am always available and happy to help with any city needs. I hope to hear from you soon!
A Message from Alderman Silverstein
“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.

In the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, Hamas brutally killed over 1,200 people and kidnapped more than 250 innocents. We must remember all those who were killed and do everything we can to bring all the remaining hostages home safe. America will always stand with Israel against terror. #RememberOctober7 ...

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
