NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani Expected in Crown Heights Sukkah Tonight
by CrownHeights.info
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is expected to visit Crown Heights tonight, Tuesday, September 29th, as part of a Sukkos visit to the sukkah of Mrs. Devorah Halberstam.
Halberstam, whose son Ari was killed in the 1994 terrorist attack on the Brooklyn Bridge, has for years hosted elected officials, law-enforcement leaders and community figures in her sukkah during Sukkos.
The mayor’s expected visit comes as city officials have maintained an increased focus on engagement with New York’s Jewish communities. The Mayor’s Office to Combat Antisemitism says it has held listening sessions with Jewish New Yorkers and recently accompanied Mayor Mamdani on a visit to the Jewish Children’s Museum in Crown Heights, where he was hosted by Halberstam.
Community members should be aware that the mayor’s visit is expected to bring an accompanying security presence and possible activity around the location of the sukkah.
The anticipated visit follows Monday night’s visit by Nassau County Executive and Republican gubernatorial nominee Bruce Blakeman, who visited a Crown Heights sukkah and joined the dancing at the communal Simchas Beis Hashoeva.
Mayor Mamdani’s visit tonight is expected to take place at approximately 8:00pm.
No way
He is not welcome in our community
Angry Jew
He will be coming around 8pm to the Succah on Carroll Street between Brooklyn & NY Ave. Let us welcome this Jew Hater with an official Crown Heights welcome and let us all see who else in our community is coming to welcome this Jew Hater to be with us. Shame on all who join in this event.

I agree! Mrs. Halberstam, clearly is welcoming him.
Shmully
Disgusting. Don’t host him wtf.

How can any Jew host someone who hates Israel and denies it’s right to exist?!
This man supports Hamas and globalizing the Intifada!
Is there a protest outside the Succah?
Let’s make one!
Stand up as proud Jews and stop catering to Jew Haters!!!

The message got across that Hizzonner and his merry band of commies/jihadis are rapidly losing political capital. Hence the outreach.
Let’s see where this goes.
Important: Instagram click chasers: Crown Heights community doesn't need you
I didn’t vote mamdani for mayor, and my gut tells me you reading my comment didn’t vote for him.
He was elected mayor.
Community activists need the cash and permits the mayor and governor provide.
If you want to get the most of your tax, the best chance is by allowing activist to “do what they do”
Don’t like him? Protest by Gracie Mansion. DO NOT intrude another person’s event for clicks.

I’m sure it’s all about the money — the JCM was never shy about buttering up Adrienne “Ceasefire/ Free Khalil” Adams.
Reality: Zero Protestor
B”H, non of the click chasers came over. You people in the comments should touch some grass, get off social media, and you’ll see the world’s reality it’s way different than you think. Again, thank you guys for staying in your basements. Chag Sameach
Disgusted
Anyone taking part in this is responsible for normalizing Jew-hatred. It’s unfortunate that for some in our community photo ops are more important than Jewish lives. This is extraordinarily dangerous and will only lead to more antisemitism and violence against Jews ch”v.
Disgraceful
I don’t get it. Her son was killed by the people he actually supports. You are bringing him into your home??????
Don't Judge
Don’t judge Devorah Halberstam. She lost her son to a terrorist. Lo aleynu.
Yes I Will Judge
Then she should know better than to platform terrorist-supporters. This is SO dangerous. I really can’t believe she’s so foolish.
Israel
It’s not about judging the person, nothing to do with that at all. But that doesn’t make a person infallible and give them a free pass to do whatever they want.
Daniel
That’s the point!
messed up
Why do we let this happen? Why can’t we line the streets not welcoming him
