With the election of Hamas-supporter Zohran Mamdani as the city’s new mayor, Diaspora Minister Amichai Chikli suggests God is calling the Jewish people home.

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.

While we of course respect the democratic process, and our goal is not to intervene in the political decisions of a foreign city, we also believe that it is incumbent upon us as Israeli Jews to encourage you in the Diaspora community to seize this moment ...

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.

Rep. Mikie Sherrill, the Democratic nominee for New Jersey governor, prevailed Tuesday in a hotly contested race that trained its focus on Jews and antisemitism in the homestretch. Sherrill took 57% of the vote over GOP candidate Jack Ciattarelli with more than 63% of the total vote reporting at 9:30 p.

The draft exemption given to the ultra-Orthodox has caused deep divisions in Israeli society, emerging as the most serious threat to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government.

Rabbi Jill Jacobs also openly backed Lander in the primary without offering similar support for Mamdani. While she declined to offer more details about her personal vote, last week she urged her followers for the first time to take Mamdani seriously, in the face of a groundswell of opposition from rabbis around the country.

President Trump calls Jews who vote for Zohran Mamdani “a stupid person” on Election Day for NYC mayoral race.

A new survey finds most US Jews view Israel as vital to Jewish continuity, support Trump’s peace plan for Gaza, and credit him with securing the hostage release deal.
