The rabbi of a prominent Manhattan synagogue slammed Zohran Mamdani as a “danger to the security of the New York Jewish community” — as he urged congregants to back Andrew Cuomo for mayor instead.
“I believe Zohran Mamdani poses a danger to the security of the New York Jewish community,” Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove, of the renowned Park Avenue Synagogue on the Upper East Side, said during his Saturday sermon.
He said Mamdani refuses to denounce the phrase “Globalize the Intifada,” denies Israel’s legitimacy as a Jewish state, has vowed to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and cited his “thrice-repeated accusations of genocide” against Israel in Gaza at last week’s mayoral debate.
“For these and so many other statements … he is a danger to the Jewish body politic of New York City,” Cosgrove said.
Cosgrove’s appeal to congregants came a week before the nine days of early voting were set to kick off.
The faith leader, in a subsequent interview with The Post on Monday, said his criticism of Mamdani “had to be said.”

Gee, ya think?
He’s right, but the pathway to Islamacization was through socialism. You couldn’t talk those in the Jewish faith out of choosing socialism.
Mamdani: Only Islamophobes Object To Me Campaigning with a WTC Bombing Co-Conspirator
Hey Rabbi, tell that to the self-loathing New York Jews planning to vote for him.
Unfortunately, there are Jewish rabbis in New York City who publicly support Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral campaign, despite significant controversy and opposition from others in the Jewish community.
A group of progressive rabbis published a statement titled “We are NYC rabbis who support Zohran Mamdani – Here’s why” in The Times of Israel. They emphasized:
• Mamdani’s platform reflects the Jewish call for justice.
• His policies address antisemitic violence through systemic reform.
• Their support is rooted in Jewish values of dignity, equity, and solidarity with marginalized communities.

- These rabbis are affiliated with Jews for Racial and Economic Justice (JFREJ) and have appeared with Mamdani at events like “Seder in the Streets,” highlighting interfaith coalition-building and shared civic goals.
The Jewish rabbinical response to Mamdani is deeply divided:
• Progressive rabbis support him for his social justice platform.
• Mainstream and conservative rabbis oppose him over his stance on Israel and Jewish communal security.
This split reflects broader tensions in Jewish political identity—between diasporic justice traditions and Zionist security concerns.
In fact, Based on the latest polling data, approximately 43% of Jewish voters in New York City support Zohran Mamdani in the 2025 mayoral race. See here:
How many of those are actually of Jewish *faith* or even remain truly culturally Jewish?
Faithful Jews tend to be Conservative, and are becoming more so:
Atheist Jews despise Zionists and Israel.
And they are not of Jewish ‘faith’.
Yeah NO DUH..Mamdani IS Hamas, when I look at his smirking face I see Sinwar
Yeah those Jews would give Israel to Hamas TODAY if they could thats the difference
It would be the cultural Jews, just like those who were from Christian households who have since became atheist. They want the blessings of God, but not the obligations.
These people, both Jewish socialists and ex-Christian socialists, are why America may become Islamacist over time.
Socialism is the great deceiver and binder of all cultures and religions.
He is a danger to all New Yawkers.
Cosgrove is the typical Leftist loon from the mis-named Conservative Movement. TDS is his trade. Cosgrove has done his part in making NYC a welcoming place for Mamdani. Without apologizing, Cosgrove is just dirt.
The leftist liberal Jew worships at the altar of the DemoRat Party their vaunted sacred religion.
Well at least one NY’er sees the danger Mamdani represents. So not all NY’ers are sheeple.
True.
And to the rest of the nation.
Mamdani is a danger to everyone in New York City.
Jew's voting habits have always been a conundrum. Heck, the vast majority of them voted for a foreign born, America hating socialist Muslim for president. Twice. Nearly 80% IIRC.
