New York City, home to the largest Jewish population outside of Israel, has become a focal point in the ongoing mayoral election. With nearly a million Jewish residents, the community’s diverse political and cultural perspectives are shaping the race. Zohran Mamdani, a candidate in the Democratic primary, has garnered significant support from younger Jewish voters, with 67% of Jews under 44 voting for him. Overall, Mamdani secured 43% of the Jewish vote, according to recent polls. A subgroup of his supporters, known as ‘Jews for Zohran,’ has emerged, comprising individuals and organizations like Jews for Racial and Economic Justice and Jewish Voice for Peace. These groups have mobilized to engage both Jewish communities and New Yorkers at large. Despite being labeled as antisemitic by some critics, Mamdani has attracted Jewish voters who believe in his vision for affordable housing, healthcare, and social equity. Jacob Bloomfield, a canvasser for Mamdani, emphasized the candidate’s commitment to addressing systemic inequalities, stating that ‘everyone in our society should have access to a basic standard of living.’ Actor and comedian Matt Ketai, another supporter, praised Mamdani’s energy and principles, while criticizing Islamophobic narratives perpetuated by opponents like Andrew Cuomo. Journalist Caleb Espiiritu-Bloomfield highlighted the generational divide within the Jewish community over Israel, noting that younger Jews are less tied to traditional views. While Mamdani’s stance on Israel remains a point of contention, many Jewish voters see him as a unifying figure who understands the challenges faced by minorities in a Christian-majority society. As the election approaches, Mamdani’s campaign continues to resonate with Jewish voters who prioritize social justice and inclusivity.
