New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani attended a major Satmar Hasidic celebration in Brooklyn, receiving a warm welcome from community leaders and members. The event commemorated the anniversary of Satmar Rebbe Joel Teitelbaum's escape from Nazi persecution, a pivotal moment in the community's history. Rabbi Moishe Indig, a prominent organizer, praised Mamdani for honoring his promise to engage with the community even before taking office. Despite Indig's endorsement of Mamdani sparking division within the Satmar community, the mayor-elect's stance on issues important to Hasidic residents, such as public funding for yeshivas, has been noted. The Satmar enclave largely supported Mamdani's opponent in the election, highlighting ongoing political complexities within the group.
