“How could you endorse Mamdani?” Tough questions for Satmar askan Rabbi Moishe Indig

The first anti-Semite in history was Eisav. And what did Yaakov do? He gave him piles of gifts. Ja, mein Herr. Yeah, I’m your slave, how are you? What else can I do for you? He hugged and kissed him even while Eisav was trying to bite him.

With this approach, we’ve won over many people.

For example, Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso was considered for years to be an outright enemy of our community, but now he’s a great friend. The same is true for Ed Day in Monsey, and many others.

I said to him, “The perception is that you are an anti-Semite. So I want to ask you straight out, are you an anti-Semite?”

He said, “No, I’m not an anti-Semite. I just don’t like what Israel is doing in Gaza.”
