The Chabadnik inside Zohran Mamdani’s ‘people-powered’ office...

Uri Fraenkel, an Orthodox Chabad-affiliated staffer in New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s office, appeared in footage from a Brooklyn Judaica store visit. He blew a shofar, explained aspects of Hasidic garb to Mamdani, and redirected a heckler.

The clip prompted commentary among Jewish observers about the staffer’s role in the democratic socialist mayor’s administration.
