Campaign announcement:
It is time for American Jewry to make an impact.
You may not live in Queens and have very likely only been there while taking off or arriving at JFK or LaGuardia airports. Your family might take a seasonal outing to a New York Mets baseball game at Citi Field or see a set at the U.S. Open in the USTA National Tennis Center. But Queens is much more.
Queens is home to one of the world’s largest contingencies of Jewish thought, from Ashkenazim and Sephardim to Israelis and more. A stroll through a Queens neighborhood will introduce you to a diverse gamut of Jewish culture. From the teachings of Yeshivas Chofetz Chaim and Yeshiva Ohr HaChaim to the Torah halls of Yeshiva Shaar Hatorah-Grodno and Beis Medrash L’Talmud-Lander College for Men, one will cover the grasp and varied scope that the Jewish thinking of Queens offers.
Unless you live under a rock, the acronym BDS connotes the destruction of our Jewish value system on a global scale. This radical ideal is every Jewish person’s problem. Ideas are being promulgated on a national level that firmly go against the morals of our heritage and lifestyle.
This June, an unprecedented election is set to take place in a region of Queens home to thousands of Jewish families. Other contenders in the race for the vacant District 29 City Council seat have amassed huge war chests. We must deliver a strong message of resilience and hope. The Orthodox community has unified in selecting a born and bred prodigy to lead its community and bring a logical voice throughout New York City.

Avi Cyperstein stands prepared to lead society back on a resolute sensible path. Avi is one of us, having spent years learning in our mainstream yeshiva system in New York and Eretz Yisrael and going onward to make his mark in the professional world. From Bava Kama, to healthcare, to Chaveirim and Hatzalah, Avi rose to make a difference.
In Avi, the Jewish community will have the voice of logic on its side and a leader who will not curb to the pressure in his midst. With clear-mindedness, Avi trusts in what is correct as the fuel to make strides in Queens from advocating for the rights of ambitious business-minded men and women launching their first ventures to the dire needs of seniors desperate for guidance.
Over his career, Avi has developed a deep appreciation for our seniors while managing two assisted living facilities and spending years providing much needed medical services for the elderly. Caring for others remains central to Avi’s persona, always seeking new ways to ease the burdens on others. Volunteerism is second nature for Avi who selflessly brought Chaveirim’s auto assist efforts to the Queens community and is a longtime dedicated member of the local Hatzolah.
Awareness is key and political campaigning is quite an expense. Raising $100,000 allows the Jewish voice to be heard loud and clear. You are now part of the fight to restore Jewish standards and allow Jews of the world to once again feel safe walking our streets. Open your pockets to bring back our religious and ethical liberties with a fearless leader that leads his life with deep knowledge of the principles we hold so dear.
The success of this fundraiser will give Avi an ironclad chance at being affirmed and starting a movement of frum figureheads in public office.
