Progressive Rabbis’ ‘Jews for Zohran’ Ad Becomes Flashpoint Late in NYC Mayor’s Race

Right-leaning outlets spotlight Abby Stein’s White House ejection plus an Iran-linked forum to pressure Zohran Mamdani.

Overview

  • Jews for Racial and Economic Justice released a ‘Jews for Zohran’ video featuring four rabbis urging Jewish voter turnout for Zohran Mamdani.
  • Rabbi Abby Stein appears alongside Emily Cohen, Miriam Grossman and Rachel Goldenberg in the endorsement circulating on social platforms.
  • Stein was escorted from a 2024 White House Pride event after interrupting Jill Biden to call for a Gaza ceasefire, according to her own account.
  • Reports also note Stein’s participation in a 2024 interfaith meeting involving Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian during the UN General Assembly.
  • Conservative coverage uses the ad to criticize Mamdani and JFREJ, which it labels far-left, while JFREJ promotes the message as a get-out-the-vote push.
