Unlike his opponents in the New York City mayoral race, Zohran Mamdani has offered perspectives on Israel, Zionism, and antisemitism that have upset and even alarmed some voters. But his outreach efforts to the city’s diverse Jewish communities will persist.

Zohran Mamdani’s victory will make him the first Muslim mayor of New York City, which has the highest concentration of Jews outside Israel.

Jewish voters have long reliably supported Democrats, and Mamdani won the Democratic primary, but concerns about rising antisemitism and Mamdani’s sharp criticisms of Israel have opened up a generational split.

Amichai Chikli, Israel’s minister for diaspora affairs, described Mamdani’s victory as “a critical turning point for the city of New York” that “shakes the very foundations of the place that offered freedom and opportunity to countless Jewish refugees”.

Pope Leo XIV has marked the 60th anniversary of the landmark Vatican document that revolutionized the Catholic Church’s relations with Jews.

Andrew Cuomo has centered the accusation that Mamdani would endanger Jews in his closing pitch to voters. But a group of canvassers wearing “New York Jews for Zohran” T-shirts said that Cuomo misunderstood the city’s Jewish population, according to The New York Times.
