"Halberstam characterized the mayor as a 'very good listener' and 'a work in progress' on issues of concern to the Jewish community, particularly regarding hate and terror incidents."
"'Hopefully there will be movement in different directions. And I hope to help him along with doing that as it applies to the Jewish community,' Halberstam stated."
Mayor Zohran Mamdani toured the Jewish Children's Museum in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, accompanied by police commissioner Jessica Tisch and local councilmember Crystal Hudson. The visit was closed to the press. Devorah Halberstam, a museum co-founder, connected with the mayor after a recent car-ramming incident nearby. During the tour, they discussed her son Ari, a victim of antisemitism. Halberstam described Mamdani as a good listener, expressing hope for progress on issues affecting the Jewish community, acknowledging his learning curve in addressing these concerns.
