What does Mamdani’s win mean for the Jewish community in New York and across the U.S.? As Rabbis and Cantors, how can we engage with NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani as a public figure without exacerbating tensions in our communities? What is the role of Jewish clergy in this moment?
This webinar is for you if you’re confused, stuck, and/or in need of a space to process the firestorm that has been this election.
And this webinar is not just for NYC T’ruah chaverim. In fact, it will be most beneficial for those of us outside of the five boroughs who are wrestling with the national implications of this win.
Our speakers:
- Rabbi Jill Jacobs, CEO of T’ruah and New York rabbi
- Ruth Messinger, Social Justice Consultant and New York political figure
- Rabbi Jason Klein, Senior Rabbi at Congregation Beit Simchat Torah in New York City
We will hear from speakers and then have a bit of time to discuss our reactions and process in small groups. This is not a place to come and fight your corner. Rather, this is a place for T’ruah chaverim to come together live – not just on an email listserv! – and see each other and our hopes, dreams, fears, and needs fully.
