Today, New York City Comptroller, John C. Liu, visited the Manhattan headquarters of the Orthodox Union, the nation’s largest Orthodox Jewish umbrella organization. There he met with OU lay and professional leaders, synagogue rabbis and community leadership.

This was Mr. Liu’s first chance to dialogue with Orthodox Union leaders and he used the opportunity to discuss the City’s fiscal challenges and how to best prepare for the future. He also updated the leadership on the New York City Pension Funds divestment from companies doing business with Iran.

As well, the Comptroller had the opportunity to learn about the Orthodox Union and the work it performs each day, including the OU Job Board, its 35 affiliated JSU clubs, the JLIC program on college campuses and the OU’s work with some 200 synagogues in the greater New York area.
