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!”
Alderman Debra Silverstein
Together with other aldermen and municipal leaders, I toured the Nova Exhibition today. The exhibit, which is in Chicago until Nov 30, offers a powerful journey through the events of October 7 and the massacre at the Nova Music Festival in Re’im, Israel.
Narrated through the voices of victims and survivors, the powerful exhibition features personal artifacts recovered from the festival grounds, providing a deeply human lens on the tragedy which saw the murder of 378 innocent people by Hamas.
