Israel in Boston

Consul General Benjamin Sharoni joined the Yale Innovation Summit in New Haven, hosted by Yale Ventures.

Israel and Connecticut are both leading in innovation across aerospace, defense, biotech, medtech, financial services, & quantum. The Summit was a productive opportunity to further implement the Israel-Connecticut economic cooperation plan. 🇮🇱🤝🇺🇸

85 years ago, the Farhud pogrom shattered one of the oldest Jewish communities in the world.

In June 1941, mobs in Baghdad brutally attacked, murdered, assaulted, and looted Jews simply for being Jewish. The Farhud was not only a tragedy for Iraqi Jewry - it became a symbol of the persecution faced by Jewish communities across the Middle East.

Today, we remember the victims, honor the rich heritage of Iraqi Jews, and reaffirm the importance of standing against antisemitism, hatred, and incitement.

For over two years, the UN laundered Hamas propaganda, manufactured fake aid statistics, and called it "authoritative data."

Today, the curtain comes down.

The systematic information manipulation machine operating under the UN is now exposed. See the evidence for yourself: 👇

What a night at Fenway Park! 🏟️

Consul General Benjamin Sharoni was on the field with the Boston Red Sox for their annual Jewish Heritage Celebration, joining for a night honoring Jewish life and heritage in New England. 🇮🇱

And what a performance from the Sox, dominant from start to finish in a commanding 8-0 shutout that sent the crowd home buzzing. ⚾🎉

A perfect night, a perfect result, and a great celebration of Jewish heritage in Boston!

Consul General Benjamin Sharoni stopped by the legendary Michael's Deli in Brookline for a much-needed bite and to stand with owner Steven Peljovich. His business has been vandalized nearly 40 times since 2023, all because of a sign outside reading “Proudly Jewish” and an Israeli flag displayed inside. If anyone thought that would quiet him, they clearly haven’t met Steven. He is not a man who is easily deterred. Neither is his knish.

Steven, your food is outstanding, but your resolve is even better. Thank you, and the entire Michael’s Deli family, for your courage and for refusing to be anything other than exactly who you are. The sandwiches, by the way, were delicious. We’ll be back soon for another round.

This Memorial Day, we honor and remember the brave men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces who, for 250 years, have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of freedom. Israel stands with our American friends in paying tribute to these heroes. 🇮🇱🇺🇸

May their memory be a blessing.
