Mamdani Dodges Question on Whether NYPD Will Go Ahead with Training in Israel
- A new Siena University poll of 811 likely voters shows 66% of Jewish New Yorkers hold an unfavorable view of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, even as he met with 10 rabbis earlier this week to address antisemitism concerns.
- Critics argue Mamdani's persistent stance on Israel and Palestine vilifies the state; Rabbi Rick Jacobs of the Union for Reform Judaism warned that the mayor's rhetoric "endangers the Jewish community writ large."
- Antisemitic incidents account for 56.9% of all hate crimes, according to NYPD data showing a 9.4% year-to-date increase through July, and 82% of Jewish New Yorkers report anxiety about rising antisemitism.
- American Jewish Committee regional director Andrew Gross declined to attend similar meetings due to the mayor's posture, while Satmar Rebbe Zalman Leib Teitelbaum maintains a working relationship with City Hall regarding neighborhood services.
- City Hall confirmed on Wednesday that the Mayor's Office to Combat Antisemitism will release a broader strategy for Rosh Hashanah, though officials declined to specify whether the recent roundtable would shape these initiatives.
