“We are deeply saddened and concerned by emboldened hatred and violence that are taking place across our nation with the latest being on past Saturday with a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia that resulted in 19 people injured and the death of Heather Heyer,” Alex Kharazi and Rabbi Eli Garfinkle, the council’s president and vice president, respectively, said in an email.
