STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- The newly established Jewish Tea Party of New York will hold its first official event Wednesday, a Staten Island Stands With Israel event co-hosted by the Staten Island Tea Party.
"It is time for Americans to stand and proclaim their support of the only true democracy in the Middle East," said group founder Ilya Galak, editor of Citizens Magazine, a publication that caters to the borough's burgeoning immigrant Russian population.
The event will be held at 7 p.m. at the Staaten, West Brighton.
Said Galak: "Israel is a staunch ally of the United States in a terribly dangerous region. The people of Israel need to know that ordinary American citizens stand shoulder-to-shoulder in their defense."
The event will feature guest speakers, including former Conservative Party gubernatorial candidate Herb London, and a viewing of a rally being held in Jerusalem by conservative personality Glenn Beck.
"The response has been tremendous so far," said Galak, who said seating would be limited to 350 people at the event. He said seats have been filling through word-of-mouth and Staten Island Tea Party mailings.
More information on the event can be found at www.standwithisraelny.com.

This could be interesting.
Mazel Tov!
Brukhim Ha-Bo-im!
IMHO, This is very, very big...
When did the Tea Party become something other than a party for limited government, limited spending and cutting the deficit?
=8-)
IMHO, This is very, very big...
Why not a Jewish Tea Party in my state too? (California)...
Hmmmm
I thought the Tea Party was only for redneck, racist, whitey?
I think it has the potential to be big..But its been my observation that American Jews are self defeating; so it will be interesting in what broad strokes they take their TEA Party.
Is Maxine going to tell them to go to hell?
How long before the left calls them a bunch of Nazis? I’ve been called a Nazi, even though I’m Jewish, for being in my local non-Jewish tea party.
It might be more about money at this point...These are business people....All the Jewish people I know have their own business. All IMHO........
I’m in the RJC too. Actually, speaking at the next event and leading a discussion group (on the very day I become eligible to be President). Should be fun.
Maxine Waters saying the “Tea Party can go straight to hell.”

Never thought I’d see it happen.
But Harry Reid said the Tea Party would disappear.
