The Public Affairs Committee of UMJCA would like to congratulate Dr. Pedram Bral on his historic election being the first Iranian American Mayor elected in the State of New York with an overwhelming majority. Equally we would like to congratulate our own Houshang Nematzadeh for being re-elected as a trustee of the Village of Kings Point.

We would like to wish the new Mayor, Dr. Bral and his new trustees, Anne Mendelson and Raymond Plakstis Jr. and all the newly elected officials in all of the Villages a successful term in office. The community also wants to recognize and thank the outgoing mayor Ralph Kreitzman and trustees Mitch Beckerman and Jeff Bass for years of public service, dedication and service to the Great Neck community.

Mayor Bral will be a guest of our community this Shabbat at Shaare Shalom, 54 Steamboat Road.  He will speak at 10:15am before taking out the Torah.
