Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz (81st District) participated in rallies protesting appearances by Iranian President Ahmadinejad at the United Nations and Columbia University.
“It’s very sad that over 60 years after the Holocaust so many people, institutions and nations have such a high tolerance for hatred, racism and anti-Semitism,” Dinowitz said in a statement. “I am proud that so many good people turned out to speak with one voice against Ahmadinejad and everything he represents.”
Dinowitz protested in Manhattan with Congressman Eliot Engel at a rally led by Riverdale Rabbi Avi Weiss.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
