Antisemitic graffiti was found in the pedestrian tunnel at the Irvington Metro-North station. Within 24 hours, Chabad of the Rivertowns organized a vigil at the station. A second gathering followed at the Shames JCC in Tarrytown. This is the fifth antisemitic incident in Westchester County in recent months — part of a countywide pattern the ADL says increased 22% last year. Plus: measles cases in Rockland County, the Conservation District's expanded work plan, and the county launches its own podcast.
