Argentine President Javier Milei visited Yeshiva Darchei Torah in Far Rockaway on Tuesday during his trip to New York for the United Nations General Assembly, delivering remarks to the Jewish school community and receiving the Ohev Yisrael award.
The visit was Milei’s first major engagement with the Jewish community during his New York trip and came one day after Yom Kippur. Yeshiva Darchei Torah had announced the visit ahead of time, describing Milei as a strong supporter of the Jewish people and saying he was eager to address students at the Orthodox Jewish institution.
Argentina’s government confirmed Tuesday that Milei delivered a speech at the yeshiva and received the Ohev Yisrael award during the visit. The award was presented in recognition of his support for the Jewish people and Israel.
The president’s appearance at the Far Rockaway yeshiva was part of a broader three-day New York schedule surrounding the 81st U.N. General Assembly.
During Tuesday’s visit, Milei received the Ohev Yisrael award from Yeshiva Darchei Torah.
The Hebrew phrase “Ohev Yisrael” refers to love for the Jewish people. Argentine government officials said the award recognized Milei’s position regarding the Jewish people and Israel.
Reports from Argentina said Milei spoke to the yeshiva community but that officials did not immediately release details of the remarks.
