Mamdani says meeting with rabbis was ‘candid and productive’
Mamdani said the city will expand anti-hate funding and release a municipal antisemitism plan next month after rabbis urged him to soften criticism of Israel.
- Following a Monday meeting with rabbis, New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani touted a plan to combat antisemitism on Thursday, though he resisted calls to change his rhetoric toward Israel.
- During the roundtable, Reform, Reconstructionist, Conservative, and Modern Orthodox rabbis warned Mamdani that his frequent excoriations of Israel were alienating and potentially endangering Jewish New Yorkers.
- Mamdani highlighted increased funding for anti-hate crime initiatives and noted his Office to Combat Antisemitism will release a new municipal response plan next month to address rising bias incidents.
- His approach contrasts with predecessor Mayor Eric Adams, who adopted the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism as official city policy before Mamdani repealed the order.
- Legal action against Columbia University emerged Monday, as a group of students and alumni filed a lawsuit alleging the institution fostered a "hostile campus climate" and unfairly targeted Palestinian individuals.
