New Jersey Attorney General Jennifer Davenport visited Beth Medrash Govoha (BMG) on Tuesday, convening a roundtable discussion with a broad cross-section of Jewish community leaders, elected officials, and law enforcement representatives.
The meeting, held at the Lakewood yeshiva, focused on community concerns, public safety, and strengthening cooperation between state authorities and local stakeholders.
“Listening to community voices is essential to ensuring that New Jersey is a place where everyone feels safe to live, work, and worship,” Davenport said during the visit.
Among those in attendance were Ocean County Prosecutor Brad Billhimer; Assemblyman Avi Schnall; Agudah NJ Director Shlomo Schorr; Jackson askan and Hatzolah Captain Uri Davidi; Toms River askan Booky Kalusczyner; Jackson Council President Mordy Burnstein; Ocean County Commissioners Frank Sadeghi and Shmuel Ellenbogen; Senator Bob Singer; Lakewood Committeeman Meir Lichtenstein; BMG CEO Yosef Heinemann; Mrs. Chani Jacobowitz of BMG; Lakewood Mayor Ray Coles; and Ocean County Sheriff Mike Mastronardy, along with other community figures.
