The New York Society for Ethical Culture (NYSEC) canceled an event Monday that was to have featured Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. delivering a pro-Israel speech to a Jewish group Tuesday evening.
The group, the World Values Network, a project of Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, will still host the event at another venue. However, the cancelation by NYSEC marks the latest effort by a supposedly liberal organization to marginalize Kennedy.
