Are NYC Jews overreacting to Zohran Mamdani? (ft. Shabbos Kestenbaum)

After Zohran Mamdani's stunning victory in the NYC Democratic mayoral primary, the Jewish community is raising serious concerns. But can they articulate why? In this deep dive, we break down the real issues behind the headlines and explain what many are struggling to put into words.From his socialist economic policies to his stance on Israel, from his past tweets to his current media-trained persona - we examine the gap between public perception and documented positions. This isn't about personal attacks - it's about understanding the policies and ideologies that could reshape New York City. We are then joined by special guest Shabbos Kestenbaum from ⁨@PragerU⁩ to add some actual informed insight.

🔴 MAJOR CONCERNS DISCUSSED:

→The difference between his current messaging and past statements

→Why "useful idiots" are more dangerous than outright antisemites

→The connection between anti-Zionism and broader anti-Western sentiment

→How socialist policies historically impact Jewish communities

→The role of media training in political transformation
