Baltimore, MD, Nov. 6, 2024—Coalition for Jewish Values (CJV), representing over 2,500 traditional, Orthodox rabbis in American public policy, today offered congratulations to former and future President Donald J. Trump after his historic victory in the 2024 Election. CJV President Rabbi Yoel Schonfeld issued the following statement:
We congratulate the former President for his successful campaign and his upcoming return to office. We applaud the efforts of both candidates to reach out to our community, and note that Mr. Trump garnered record Jewish support, not only from Orthodox Jews, who supported him by an overwhelming margin, but from most voters who, when surveyed, placed concern for Israel and rising antisemitism in the U.S. high on their list of priorities. We hope that Mr. Trump will further his previous steps to fight antisemitism on campus and in American society, and continue his visionary efforts to bring peace to the Middle East.
