To all our young people this #YomKippur: we tried to instill in you a sense of justice, righteousness and honor for all people. We are proud when your generation actively pursues these values. But we did not intend for some in your generation to turn their backs on our people…

.Zohran Kwame Mamdani I do not speak for all Jews, but I do represent the views of the large majority of the NY Jewish community, which is increasingly concerned about your statements about Israel and the Jewish people. I urge you to reconsider your long-held rejection of Israel’s right to exist. Be a uniter and a peacemaker.

The Western world is losing the plot again with respect to the #Jews... Be proud Jews! Do not confuse moral conviction with virtue signaling. Stand up for the truth. We need to make anti-#Zionism disreputable again; we need to strip it of its veneer of virtue.

I asked the leading candidates for the #NY12 congressional seat if they agree with the claim that the Democratic Party has moved away from its support for #Israel. I can't tell you how many people have told me recently, people who formerly were supportive of the party, that they feel politically homeless.

.Zohran Kwame Mamdani's win is remarkable since: (1) he has no managerial experience but will be running most complicated US bureaucracy; (2) he's a socialist in the most capitalist city in civilization's history; (3) he's an anti-Zionist in the planet's most Jewishly populous city.

Our movement has failed to communicate to many younger Jews — including some rabbis — that Zionism is integral to Judaism. An anti-Zionist rabbi is a contradiction in terms. That’s why I was in Israel last week with 24 other Reform rabbis. I am determined to make a difference.

What's the big deal? NYC's mayor has little influence on foreign policy. If Zohran Kwame Mamdani pursues anti-Zionism as a central policy objective, appoints anti-Zionists to oversee NYC's public schools, uses his platform to delegitimize Israel... it will put all Jews in danger.

The entire philosophy of Western #liberalism is under assault. Increasingly we are living a surreal reality.
