Jewish women in New York City are facing a difficult decision in the upcoming mayoral election, torn between their feminist values and concerns about candidates' stances on Israel. Many are struggling with whether to support Andrew Cuomo, who has faced sexual harassment allegations, or Zohran Mamdani, whose criticism of Israel has divided Jewish voters. Some women are voting for Cuomo reluctantly, prioritizing opposition to Mamdani's views on Israel, while others refuse to reconcile with Cuomo's past and support Mamdani instead. The debate has sparked intense discussion within the Jewish community, with leaders and rabbis acknowledging the complexity and urging voters to honor both their values and concerns about safety and dignity.
