NATIONWIDE \u2014 FOLLOWING A LETTER PUBLISHED FROM GROUP THE JEWISH MAJORITY THAT DENOUNCED THE MAYORAL CANDIDACY OF Zohran Mamdani and labeled him as an anti-Zionist, a second open letter has been released that repudiates that viewpoint, instead asserting that Jews and Muslims are stronger when working together. The newest letter<\/a>, titled \u201cJews for a Shared Future,\u201d had, as of Thursday morning, Oct. 30, garnered 863 signatures, 46 of which are in New York City, and at least 10 of them from Brooklyn. Clergy from outside NYC also signed, as did lay synagogue and organizational leaders from across the United States.<\/p>\n

The \u201cJews for a Shared Future\u201d letter states that, \u201cIn response to Jewish concerns about the New York mayoral race, we recognize that candidate Zohran Mamdani\u2019s support for Palestinian self-determination stems not from hate, but from his deep moral convictions\u2026 We draw inspiration from the many Israelis and Palestinians bravely building mutual respect and caring across profound divides, and we commit to supporting their work\u2026 \u00a0Our traditions teach us that justice is indivisible\u2014we are only truly safe when we ensure the safety and dignity of all. This is not merely strategic; it is sacred.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Brooklyn Eagle covered The Jewish Majority\u2019s letter<\/a> earlier this week.<\/p>\n
