New Coalition Condemns Antisemitic Incidents

July 1, 2025

The newly formed Sullivan County Coalition Against Antisemitism today condemned reported acts of antisemitism in Woodburne and South Fallsburg. Eggs were reportedly thrown at the local rabbi in front of the synagogue in Woodburne and at other Jewish individuals in South Fallsburg.

“It is outrageous that in Sullivan County Jews are being attacked at or near their house of worship solely because of their religion,” said Jacob Billig, a representative of the Coalition of eight Sullivan County synagogues. “We commend the Fallsburg Police Department and other local law enforcement for their swift action to investigate these horrific incidents of hate and bigotry.”

The mission of the Sullivan County Coalition Against Antisemitism is to combat antisemitism in all its forms by denouncing acts of hate, bigotry and offensive speech and delivering a strong immediate response, and by engaging the community through education and activism in opposition to intolerance and disrespect.
