Zohran Mamdani's election as mayor of New York City is seen as a symbol of the ongoing cultural transformation within American Jewry. The article argues that, in their pursuit of social acceptance and progressive ideals, many American Jews have distanced themselves from traditional Jewish identity and national ties, embracing a more universalist and less rooted sense of self. This shift is described as a modern form of Hellenization, echoing historical patterns where assimilation led to a weakening of communal bonds and identity. The author warns that this trend, if left unchecked, could result in further erosion of Jewish distinctiveness and connection to Israel, urging a reexamination of values and identity within the Jewish diaspora.
