Anti-Israel NYC rabbi attended UN meeting with Iran prez– less than a week before Tehran launched hundreds of missiles at Jewish state

A radical, anti-Israel Brooklyn rabbi sat down for a meeting with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian during the United Nations General Assembly, less than a week before Tehran launched nearly 200 missiles at Israel.  

Abby Stein, a part-time rabbi at the progressive Park Slope synagogue Kolot Chayeinu who was thrown out of the White House in June for calling for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, can be seen in photos of the event shared by Iranian state-owned Press TV.  

She was among roughly two dozen religious leaders, scholars and Iranian officials at the “meeting with leaders of divine religions,” the photos showed.

Others attendees included members of the Haredi Jewish group Neturei Karta, whose members oppose the existence of the Jewish state and have been a frequent presence at anti-Israel demonstrations. 

Pezeshkian lashed out at Israel during the late September meeting for its “shameful” attacks on Lebanon targeting Hezbollah terrorists, which have also killed women and children, according to the state-run IRNA news agency

Just days later, on Oct. 1, Iran fired nearly 200 missiles at Israel following a series of IDF’s fatal airstrikes that killed Hezoballah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah and other top officials. 

Stein, who was hired by the progressive synagogue this year, has been a vocal activist opposing Israel’s war in Gaza, as well as the growing conflict in Lebanon.

She is a member of the anti-Israel group Jewish Voice for Peace’s Rabbinical Council and in June was booted from the White House Pride Month celebration after she and another attendee stood up during First Lady Jill Biden’s speech to demand a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and for the United States to stop supplying weapons to Israel.

US Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY), a staunch supporter of Israel, ripped the far-left rabbi for participating in the Iran-led confab.

“Anyone who associates with the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism is a useful idiot of the highest order,” the Bronx pol told The Post. 

Kolot Chayeinu and Stein did not respond to requests for comment.
