US EditionBefore he hit a Passover seder, Zohran Mamdani shared an Eid dinner with Hasan Piker
The private dinner drew hundreds, and the later seder brought heckling after Mamdani’s appearance with a streamer accused of antisemitism.
- On Monday, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani attended the 33rd annual "Downtown Seder" at City Winery in Manhattan, where an attendee heckled him while he spoke about rising antisemitism.
- The event sparked controversy before it began when Israeli-American comedian Modi Rosenfeld pulled out, stating his team was not informed that Mamdani would participate in the program.
- During his remarks about the "rising tide of antisemitism," an unidentified attendee shouted, "Every Jewish organization is a target," interrupting Mamdani as he discussed the pain this has caused Jewish New Yorkers.
- Council Speaker Julie Menin used her remarks to celebrate a veto-proof passage of a "buffer zones" bill for houses of worship, a measure Mamdani has not supported citing concerns over the right to protest.
- Critics note the incident reflects a broader pattern of controversies tied to the mayor's orbit, including concerns about his wife Rama Duwaji's past online activity regarding Hamas and antisemitism.
