A Conversation with Congressman Ritchie Torres

In a wide-ranging conversation with Touro President Dr. Alan Kadish, Congressman Ritchie Torres shared how his upbringing in the South Bronx led to success in his political career. He spoke about his passion for Israel, the rise in antisemitism, why he believes some of his colleagues are misguided when it comes to the Jewish state, and how he’s fighting that on all fronts. Dr. Kadish and Torres also discussed ways to address America’s mental health crisis and what Torres is doing to help impact and improve the lives of New Yorkers.
