Course Description

The election of Mamdani as mayor of New York City—home to the world’s largest Jewish population—marks a potentially historic turning point for the American-Jewish community. Although only 100 days into his term, this moment is symbolic, as it may signal the end of the “Golden Era” of American Jewry, which spanned from the 1950s to the early 2000s. Rather than the start of a new trend, Mamdani’s election may represent the culmination of long-developing social and political shifts. This lecture examines the forces that led to his election and explores its possible long-term implications for American Jewry.
