Overview

• On CNBC, Jonathan Greenblatt said Zohran Mamdani had visited 'not a single synagogue,' a claim multiple outlets refuted with records of synagogue visits and Jewish forums before the primary.
• Reporting documented Mamdani’s attendance at Shabbat in Park Slope, two forums at Congregation B’nai Jeshurun, and a UJA–JCRC town hall, as well as Yiddish-language outreach.
• An ADL spokesperson clarified Greenblatt’s remarks as applying to the period after the primary, and Greenblatt said he would only meet Mamdani in a public setting under strict conditions.
• Criticism of Greenblatt’s comments spread across media and advocacy groups, including CAIR, while CNBC faced scrutiny for not challenging the on-air assertion.
• Mamdani says he would discourage use of 'globalize the intifada' but has not condemned it, the ADL calls that insufficient, and polls cited in coverage show him leading with notable Jewish voter support.
