Agudah NJ Director Avi Schnall Commends Senator Menendez on “Courageous” Iran Deal Opposition

menendez schnall agudah njPHOTO: “Agudath Israel of America New Jersey office welcomes with great appreciation the announcement by Senator Bob Menendez that he opposes the proposed Iranian nuclear deal, and intends to vote to disapprove the deal,” Agudath Israel’s NJ Dirctor Avi Schnall told TLS today.

“Senator Menendez has spoken out consistently and forcefully over the past several years about the grave threat a nuclear empowered Iran would pose to America and its allies, especially Israel.”

Yet while Senator Menendez’s position is not surprising, it is courageous, says Schnall.

“He is only the second Senator of his political party to publicly announce that he will be voting against the position of the Administration and there was much pressure for him not to buck the leadership of his party. Fortunately, however, as he said today during his public announcement at Seton Hall University “I have looked into my own soul and my devotion to principle may once again lead me to an unpopular course, but if Iran is to acquire a nuclear bomb, it will not have my name on it.” For this he deserves our deep appreciation.”

Schnall is asking the community to call or email the Senator to “thank him his courageous stance” at 202-224-4744 or at www.menendez.senate.gov

  1. the best thing that ever happened to agudath israel was the joining of rabbi avi schnall to the organization. he is such a thoughtout leader and role model and I’m honored that the orthodox jews are being represented by such an outstanding exceptional individual! may Hashem give him koach to continue his avodas hakodesh on behalf of the klal!

  2. Once again, Rabbi Schnall is there in the thick of it for the olam. Truly a precious gem for the Agudah and Klal Yisroel to have. Shtadlanus to the highest degree.

    THANK YOU!!!!!!
