Oh look, it’s Zohran Mamdani tweeting “Happy Passover, Chag Pesach Sameach, and a Zissen un Koshern Pesach” to the Jews of New York — as if he hasn’t spent the last year empowering every voice that spreads hatred against Am Yisrael while Jewish children are chased through the subways and shuls must hire armed guards just to daven.
This is the same mayor who rushed to reject the IHRA definition of antisemitism because actually naming blood libels and “globalize the intifada” chants was too “divisive” for his coalition. His wife has repeatedly liked and engaged with posts celebrating the October 7 massacre, and his only response is to shrug and call her “a private person.” All the while, Jews have suffered the vast majority of hate crimes in the city, yet real protection and moral clarity from City Hall have been nowhere to be found.
Pesach is not some vague “social justice” story. It is the Torah’s account of Yetzias Mitzrayim: Hashem Himself smote the Egyptians with ten plagues, split the Yam Suf, and brought His chosen people out of slavery with a strong hand and outstretched arm. The entire purpose was to bring Klal Yisrael to Har Sinai to receive the Torah — and ultimately to settle in Eretz Yisrael, the eternal inheritance promised to Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov. “Next year in Jerusalem” is not optional poetry; it is the living hope of every Jew who believes in the words of the Haggadah and the nevuos of the nevi’im.
But in Mamdani’s DSA worldview, that divine ending gets erased. The return to Zion is reframed as “settler-colonialism.” He shows up at his downtown seder, surrounded by Hamas supporters and performers, and twists the story into generic “oppression” talk while skipping the part where Hashem plants the Jewish people back in their G-d-given land. He hosts iftars with those who cheered the murder of Jews, then dons a yarmulke for the cameras.
An Israeli comedian wisely walked away from one of his events the moment he heard Mamdani’s name — refusing to share a stage with a man who would pursue Netanyahu but break bread with sympathizers of those who slaughter Jews.
This tweet is not achdus or solidarity. It is cynical damage control from a mayor who has helped turn New York into a place where frum Yidden feel increasingly unsafe, all while pretending to stand with the community he undermines. Klal Yisrael does not need hollow greetings and heart emojis from those who empower our enemies. We need a leader who will fight antisemitism without compromise — not one who picks and chooses which Jews to protect based on political convenience.
Real Chareidi Jews, who learn the Haggadah with emunah peshutah and daven for the geulah shleimah every day, see straight through this. The Yetzias Mitzrayim did not end in Brooklyn, in a DSA meeting, or in selective amnesia about the Torah’s eternal promise of Eretz Yisrael. It points to redemption in our homeland under Hashem’s kingship.
Keep your performative “Zissen Pesach.” The Jewish community — especially its Torah-observant heart — has clear eyes, strong emunah, and long memories. We know who stands with Am Yisrael and who merely performs for votes.
Say it with us, Zohran, “Next year in Yerushalayim!
PS: Trying to figure out why there is an orange on this Seder plate… and why Mamdani has wine at his Seder if he’s Muslim… it goes along with him eating non-Halal meat at Taco-Bell last week. Just another day in the life of a radical, disgusting, slimy socialist, married to a Jihadist wife who openly volunteered (in a since deleted Tweet) to be a martyr to kill Jews.

The frum community of New York has already accepted Mayor Mamdani’s good graces. Accept it because it’s a done deal. Satmar got it first and got it right. The Litvish and rest of the continue caught up. The Mayor was at the major Litvish Pesach food distribution Chasdei Lev and the whole Litvish crowd crowded around him for pictures and love.
Even more disturbing that President Donald Trump is giving a major address to the American people right in the midst of סדר night, when we cannot tune into.
I guess, at least this is not in midst of כל-נדרי night.
Maybe it’s time to relocate to better areas, as Jews have done for millennia
Long after momdani is gone we the Jewish nation will survive. There were millions of Mondanis in our history but we outlived them all. Very important we need to increase the frum population and as the thousands of seminary girls return from Israel they should start dating early.
An Arab is an Arab is an Arab!
Worrying is that so many New Yorkers voted for him and have no regrets.
The decree that jewish can not start dating for marriage until they return from seminary is evil. You want girls to wait till they’re twenty or twenty one years old. Maybe that’s why the Iran war happened. To get the girls back and many more won’t go to Israeli seminary and get married earlier.
what a strange seder plate he chose to portray! apart from the orange, it’s hard to figure out what the other things are supposed to represent: if the 2 green things are the karpas and maror, what’s the horseradish for? and if the horseradish is maror, what’s the second green (placed over the spot clearly marked “hazeret” btw), and if what looks like a bone is the korban pesach, what happened to the part about not breaking any bone in it? maybe this is just another instance of consulting rabbi google instead of a yid.
Erm Flatbush yid so you think the entire world revolves around our puny little life. That’s lauphable. But I will say the way we treat singles and the entire shidduch system is so scruel yes perhaps the world does react and have some form of backlash towards it.
