PRESS RELEASE FROM CINDY GROSZ
Subject: Historic and Breaking News: NY has Three Jewish Republican Candidates Running for Congress
A First For Any State During Same Election Cycle
Jewish politicians are no longer a strictly Democrat one-party choice. Throughout New York Jewish Republican and mostly Conservative party candidates are popping up throughout the state in local and state primaries and as candidates on the ballots for the big November elections.

Congressman Lee Zeldin of first district of Long Island is currently the only Jewish Republican in the House of Representatives. He is running for his second term. Since joining the House in 2014, Zeldin has been outspoken about his opposition to the Iran Nuclear Deal and the growth of international terrorist groups that target Jews worldwide. Even The New York Times in a July 2015 article recognized and somewhat praised Zeldin's outspoken and visual presence, rare for a freshman official.
As a member of the Jewish War Veterans and a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, he has looked to for leadership on both national and international security issues. Many recall his questioning of Secretary of State John Kerry during the Iran Nuclear Deal hearings.
As a father of two young daughters, he is concerned about the lessons taught in classrooms that distort the facts and engage students in building opinions against Jews and Israel that result in anti-Semitism. He is also one of the most outspoken elected officials against the BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) movement and college campus violence relates to it.
Meet Dr. Philip J . Rosenthal, running in New York's 10th District. He is getting national attention for taking on veteran Jerald Nadler, who has been criticized for his support of the Iran Nuclear Deal and has not voiced concerns over the current positions on the DNC platform. Currently, Phil sits on the board of the Endowment for Middle East Truth (EMET), a 501(c)(3) think tank and policy center with an unabashedly pro-America and pro-Israel stance. He also is a very proud member of the Leadership Council of the Republican Jewish Coalition.
"The Iran deal is just the tip of the iceberg. For example, our treatment of Israel has been shameful. Secretary Kerry called Israel an apartheid state, the President has threatened to withdraw American support for Israel at the UN, and the Administration just indicated virtual support for European labeling of Israeli products. I am running because New York needs a representative who can distinguish between an ally and an enemy with clarity, and who will speak up for allies like Israel and our national security when it counts the most," Rosenthal said.
David Gurfein is a veteran running on Long Island in the 4th District. His background as a veteran is pivotal for security on all matters. His family includes the following: a Jewish Uncle who was a US Army Colonel serving in WWII, Korea and Vietnam. He has a Jewish Nephew who is an IDF and US Marine Corps Major who served in Afghanistan and Iraq. His half-brother lives in Jerusalem, along with multiple extended family. Hundreds of Gurfeins were murdered during WWII simply for being Jewish. He is related to both Yaccov Gurfein who survived an extermination by jumping from a train headed to Sobibor Death Camp and testified at the Nuremberg Trials (http://www.
Gurfein faces a significant challenge from Democrat opponent Kathleen Rice, because she stood up as a freshman congresswoman to the Obama administration against the Iran Nuclear Deal and to terrorism and recently supported the addition of security of many Jewish institutions within her district. He feels he is strong.
Locally, New Yorkers have an open seat in the Assembly, due to the retiring (D-Rockaway Park) Philip Goldfeder, and have the option to vote for Rockaway Republican Club President Alan Zwirn, endorsed by both the republican and conservative parties and their leaders. His opponent seems to have different concerns than Goldfeder, and will probably not be able to unite and work with democrats, republicans and conservatives the way Assemblymen Goldfeder did the past decade.
Sincerely,
Robin Ticker
