Hundreds of Orthodox and Hasidic members on 13th Ave. for a first-time rally in the community for Lee Zeldin in Borough Park #NYGov
Dov Hikind leads chant “bye bye Bragg.”
Zeldin, with a yarmulke, gets a hero welcome as he takes the stage at Borough Park rally.
“You have the power to save New York. Do this for yourselves… for your community,” Zeldin says to applause
Zeldin says: “I look forward to serving as the greatest friend of yeshiva education who has ever sat in the seat of Governor of the state of New York.”
Zeldin surrounded by Hasidic supporters — treated like a rock star — as he leaves the rally.
Before the event, Zeldin met with Orthodox leaders and activists and several Hasidic rabbis. He’s now headed to another rally in the Hasidic neighborhood of Williamsburg
