A group of 167 New Jersey rabbis and cantors expressed outrage in an open letter towards Senator Andy Kim for his votes in support of resolutions attempting to block $8.8 billion in arms sales to Israel. The Jewish leaders accused Kim of betraying his promises to stand by Israel and his Jewish constituents by aligning with the anti-Israel fringe. The rabbis emphasized the importance of the US-Israel relationship and condemned Kim’s choice to undermine Israel’s security by voting against the arms sales. The letter also praised Senator Cory Booker for opposing the resolutions. Rabbi Daniel Cohen, who led the letter alongside other rabbis, highlighted the importance of elected officials’ actions aligning with their words, especially when it comes to supporting Israel. Similar backlash has been seen in other states towards officials who have opposed aid to Israel. The rabbis expressed hope that Kim would reconsider his stance on future votes regarding arms sales to Israel.
