The progressive organization Bend the Arc\u2019s CEO Jamie Beran spoke of \u201cimportant bridging work to do in the Jewish community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During his victory speech Tuesday night, Mamdani reflected this principle, saying, \u201cIn this new age we make for ourselves, we will refuse to allow those who traffic in division and hate to pit us against one another. In this moment of political darkness, New York will be the light\u2026We will build a City Hall that stands steadfast alongside Jewish New Yorkers, and does not waver in the fight against the scourge of anti-Semitism.
