Terrell, experiencing his first Shabbat meal, shared photos and videos on social media, receiving support from pro-Israel advocates and Jews alike.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu joined Leo Terrell, chair of the Department of Justice’s Task Force to Combat Antisemitism, at a private Shabbat dinner in New York City on September 26, 2025, shortly after Netanyahu’s United Nations address.
The gathering featured traditional Jewish prayers, kosher meals, and discussions on strengthening U.S.-Israel relations and anti-antisemitism efforts, with Netanyahu praising Terrell as a “guardian of the Jewish people” during a toast.
Part I of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s toast at Shabbat dinner last night! Honored that he called me a guardian of the Jewish people! That responsibility is etched in my heart.
