(Jewish Group) 'I have your back' Biden says on Rosh Hashanah call to Jewish leaders

President Joe Biden sought to assure the American Jewish community ahead of the High Holidays that his administration is committed to their safety as antisemitic threats rise.

“I know you are concerned about security,” Biden said during a High Holiday Zoom conference call with rabbis and other Jewish leaders on Thursday evening, an annual presidential ritual. “I want to make clear to you and to all your congregations, I have your back — committed to the safety of the Jewish people.”

“My administration is going to continue to condemn and combat antisemitism at every turn,” he added.

The president, who is running for reelection next year, hit many of the themes he has incorporated into the scores of speeches he has given to Jewish audiences in past decades and since he has assumed office.
