Rabbi Yaacov Behrman interviewed Assembly Member Brian Cunningham, who represents the 43rd Assembly District, which includes Crown Heights, on the most pressing issues facing New York. They discussed anti-Semitism after October 7th, Black-Jewish relations, and the eviction of the 100-year-old synagogue at Kingsbrook Hospita, and voting turnout. News recently broke that he is being considered for lieutenant governor, and we asked him whether he wants the job. Tune in to hear a great conversation!
