Jews do, as they always have. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- **Mamdani’s NYPD is still working with Israel** If the NYPD’s boots are laced by the IDF, as the mayor once said, then he’s letting them wear shoes in his house. By Fariha Rahman August 21, 2026 After the reign of Mayor Eric “I would marry Israel” Adams, the firm stance that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani took against Israel’s violence in Gaza was refreshing to some of his voters. But whatever Mamdani’s personal views on Israel, not much has changed when it comes to the institutional relationship between New York City and the Jewish state, particularly when it comes to the New York City Police Department’s work with Israeli law enforcement. In fact, the NYPD liaison stationed in Israel, whom the New York Post reported had left the job a week before Mamdani was elected, is now back on the job, a spokesperson for the police department told City & State. Soon after winning the mayoral election, Mamdani began walking back some of the firm stances he had previously taken against Israel. https://www.cityandstateny.com/policy/2026/08/mamdanis-nypd-still-working-israel/415556/ **New York appoints Jewish public servant Jessica Tisch as NYPD commissioner** Jessica Tisch becomes the second woman in history to hold the role; With a background in public service and tech, she steps into the position during a politically charged time; She will head the largest police force in the U.S.,; Tisch hails from a family known for its strong support of Israel Daniel Edelson, New York | 15:36 Jessica Tisch, a descendant of one of the wealthiest and most influential Jewish families in the world, was appointed on Wednesday as the new Commissioner of the New York Police Department (NYPD) – the second woman in history to hold the position. https://www.ynetnews.com/article/rjhajjhgjl **Orthodox community tangled in NYPD corruption scandal** NYPD officials acted like personal concierges to members of the Orthodox Jewish community — doing favors from providing free parking at weddings to letting wife beaters off the hook, sources told The Post. https://nypost.com/2016/04/18/orthodox-community-tangled-in-nypd-corruption-scandal/ **This Brooklyn rabbi is being paid nearly $100K by the city** An Orthodox rabbi who makes a city salary of nearly $100,000 as a “yeshiva liaison” for school buses gets a government car to commute to and from his Brooklyn home — plus a $59,000-a-year driver and gofer, The Post has learned. Rabbi Moshe “Morris” Ausfresser, 75, works only four days a week, co-workers say, taking Fridays off for the Jewish Sabbath, even though the sabbath begins shortly before sunset. He keeps the car overnight. https://nypost.com/2018/10/06/this-brooklyn-rabbi-is-being-paid-nearly-100k-per-year-by-the-city/ **Orthodox areas are among the fastest growing in New York and New Jersey, census data shows** BY PHILISSA CRAMER AUGUST 18, 2021 2:41 PM (JTA) — When the federal government moved up the deadline to complete the 2020 U.S. Census to the middle of the High Holidays last year, many Orthodox Jews feared that the local community would not be fully counted. “It’s something that’s very concerning to us as a community,” Rabbi Avi Greenstein, executive director of the Boro Park Jewish Community Council in Brooklyn, said at the time. But if Orthodox Jews were undercounted in the census, it doesn’t show in the data, the first set of which was released last week. That release showed that Hasidic Williamsburg was the fastest-growing Assembly district in New York state, while in New Jersey, increasingly haredi Lakewood grew at the highest rate of any city in the state. https://www.jta.org/2021/08/18/ny/orthodox-areas-are-among-the-fastest-growing-in-new-york-and-new-jersey-census-data-shows **‘I will protect you’: At Jewish museum, NY Gov. Hochul unveils $25M for nonprofit security** BY JULIA GERGELY OCTOBER 6, 2021 5:02 PM (JTA) — New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced $25 million in grants to boost security at nonprofits threatened by hate crimes. Speaking at the Museum of Jewish Heritage in Lower Manhattan Wednesday, where a Confederate flag was tied to its doors earlier this year, Hochul also announced the rollout of a new online hate-crime reporting system meant to help the state deploy resources immediately and effectively. “You continue to wear that yarmulke every single day and I will protect you,” said Hochul. “This stops now. We’re letting people know that if they dare raise a hand to any New Yorker, they are picking a fight with 20 million others, starting with their governor.” https://www.jta.org/2021/10/06/ny/ny-governor-releases-25m-in-security-grants-to-nonprofits
