More than 700 rabbis from across the US have signed an open letter demanding Mayor Zohran Mamdani apologize for calling the American Israel Public Affairs Committee “monsters” who move “millions in dark money” to preserve their power. “Using the language of ‘monsters’ against political opponents is an act of dehumanization, and when the targets of that dehumanization are overwhelmingly associated with the Jewish community the consequences become especially dangerous,” read the letter organized by the pro-Zionism group The Jewish Majority. The signatories include Rabbi David Ingber, founder of the Romemu congregation and senior director of Jewish life at 92NY; Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch of the Stephen Wise Free Synagogue on Manhattan’s Upper West Side; Rabbi Neil Zuckerman of the Park Avenue Synagogue on the Upper East Side and Rabbi Chaim Steinmetz of neighboring Congregation Kehilath Jeshurun.
