Rabbi Lawrence Hajioff shares his thoughts on the new mayor of NYC

Hey everyone. So, like most of you, um I've been inundated with so many messages and videos and concerns about the individual that was just voted in last night as the new mayor of New York. One of the common sentiments I keep getting is, "How can it be that anyone who is Jewish, forget everything else, forget what he wants to do to New York himself as a communist, but how can any single Jewish person vote for this individual?" This for me is not even a question. that doesn't even register anymore knowing unfortunately how many Jewish people historically have voted against their own people who brought in communism when it initially began in uh in Russia and uh all the ideas behind it as well unfortunately came from Jewish people so that doesn't register with me as well but what does surprise me is how many people have embraced his this individual's insane way of thinking believing honestly believing although we've seen how it failed in so many countries and cities around the world that his form of socialism which won't take hold it's not a an affordable option you can tax as much as you want eventually there's a a bottom to the barrel um but how many people still think that this is going to become the panacea the um solution to the challenges that uh New York City does have and New York City does have problems. Every city has problems. Even the uh the cities all of us think are like these dream cities around the world. But I want to discuss this from a Jewish perspective. Obviously, as a rabbi,
