Rabbi Yeruchim Silber, Director, New York Government Relations at Agudath Israel of America, spoke to the high school boys at Yeshiva Tiferet Tzion in Queens on Wednesday, February 1, about the importance of voting. The talk coincided with the Agudah Voting Project, which aims to register high school seniors. New York State law allows 16- and 17-year-olds to pre-register as voters, allowing them immediate voting privileges on their 18th birthday. “The goal of this project is for the Agudah to register as many New York City students as possible in advance of the New York City primary elections this coming June,” said Rabbi Silber.
