New York City’s Orthodox Jewish leadership as well as other groups are divided on whether to attend the Jewish American Heritage Month event at Gracie Mansion Monday.

The event is being billed as a “Pre-Shavuot Celebration in Honor of Jewish American Heritage Month” and will feature a kosher menu of traditional dairy foods served on the holiday, such as cheesecake and blintzes.

Following Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s controversial actions and statements, beginning with his first day in office when he canceled his predecessor’s executive orders combating antisemitism to declaring that events at synagogues about real estate in Israel violate international law to commemorating Nakba Day, Jewish groups are leery of attending the event.

For example, UJA-Federation of New York and the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC-NY), including CEO Mark Treyger, have announced that they are boycotting the event, along with Joseph Potasnik of the New York Board of Rabbis.

On the other hand, Rabbi David Niederman of the United Jewish Organizations of Williamsburg and other Jewish leaders said they do plan to attend. City Hall said about 150 leaders are expected and it defended Mamdani’s outreach to the Jewish community.
