By Y.M. Lowy

Boro Park received a distinguished visitor as Mayor Eric Adams stopped by, making a special visit to the offices of BoroPark24.

During his visit, he was warmly welcomed by renowned journalist Yitzchok Shtieirman, who expressed the community’s appreciation for the Mayor’s ongoing engagement with Boro Park and its Jewish residents. Yossi Kaff, Sales Manager of Klal Media, added to the sentiment by telling the Mayor, “Our office is similar to our beloved Big Apple, we both never sleep! Whenever you have news, we’ll make sure to report it.”

In his remarks, Mayor Adams reflected on the challenges of the times, emphasizing the critical role local media plays in keeping communities informed and connected. “In the city that can never sleep BoroPark24 can never nap!” the Mayor quipped. He urged for resilience and support for outlets like BoroPark24, which serve as the lifeline of local information and stories.

The Mayor was introduced to Dee Voch magazine, a publication under Klal Media, the umbrella company of BoroPark24. Dee Voch published a feature that highlighted his recent attendance at the historic Kuf Aleph event, underscoring his commitment to diverse communities across the city. Mayor Adams expressed his admiration for the magazine’s dedication to publishing meaningful stories.

During the visit, Mayor Adams was presented with a box of fresh donuts as a token of Boro Park’s warm hospitality, symbolizing the vibe of Chanukah. 

As Mayor Adams continues to engage with neighborhoods across the city, his message to BoroPark24 was clear: strong local media fosters stronger communities.

A video of the Mayor’s Chanukah wishes, will soon be shared on BoroPark24 as part of the nightly Chanukah wish series featuring our leaders.
