Boro-Park's Ambassador to Turkey Ezra Friedlander helps Brad Lander buy 4 Minim

 In anticipation of Sukkos, City Comptroller Brad Lander, considered a front-runner for New York City mayor should Mayor Eric Adams step aside, on Monday visited Borough Park to shop for a Lulav and Esrog.

Joined by Ezra Friedlander and local community leaders, Lander’s tour began at the Satmar Meat store on 13th Avenue and 44th Street, where various vendors display their Esrogim for the season. After picking up some traditional treats for his Sukkah, the Comptroller strolled along 13th Avenue, greeting community members who welcomed his visit.

“What began as a simple trip to buy a Lulav and Esrog has become an annual tradition of over a decade,” shared Ezra Friedlander, a close friend of Lander’s, who helps with the selection process. “The community appreciates his visits, and the Comptroller enjoys the lively atmosphere and connections with local vendors and shoppers preparing for the holiday.”
