Mayor Zohran Mamdani attended a progressive Passover Seder in Manhattan, marking the first time a sitting mayor has participated in the event hosted by Jews for Racial & Economic Justice (JFREJ). The gathering, held near Union Square, featured discussions on the 'New York for All' Act, a state bill prohibiting collaboration between officials and immigration agents. Mamdani framed the holiday as a reminder of Jewish resilience and a call to fight for freedom, addressing a crowd that included onlookers who rushed to the scene upon seeing him.

This appearance follows his observance of Passover through multiple channels, including a Downtown Seder, distributing food boxes with Chasdei Lev, and hosting a city workers' Seder at Gracie Mansion. His strategy aims to engage a broad spectrum of New York's Jewish community, from Orthodox leaders in Flatbush to progressive groups.
