WATCH: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Wins Standing Ovation from Jewish Audience in New YorkJoel B. Pollak 25 Jul 2023
Democratic presidential contender Robert F. Kennedy addressed a packed venue in New York City on Tuesday evening, affirming his support for the Jewish community against antisemitism, and for the State of Israel.
Kennedy spoke in conversation with Rabbi Shmuley Boteach of the World Values Network, who had to move the event to the Glass House after the New York Society for Ethical Culture (NYSEC) canceled its participation.

He said he had received support throughout the ordeal from Jewish friends who knew he was no antisemite. Kennedy said that comedian Larry David, who works with his wife, Cheryl Hines, had joked to him: “You’re the last person in the world who should be called an antisemite, but if you use the word ‘Jew,’ you’re dead.”
