The Jewish Press writes: “Assemblyman Hikind is one of the Jewish community’s strongest leaders, a staunch supporter of Israel, and a fierce advocate for his Brooklyn constituents. He is a voice of conscience on matters of discrimination, standing up courageously against anti-Semitism at home and abroad. Mr. Hikind also successfully pushed for the state to include rabbinical colleges in its Tuition Assistance Program. When the financial crisis hit, he helped expand health insurance coverage for children and the unemployed.”
