Former Governor and Mayoral Candidate Andrew Cuomo visited the Rebbe’s Ohel this morning in honor of the New Year, accompanied by Rabbi Yaacov Behrman of the Jewish Future Alliance and Stephanie Knepper Basman.
Governor Cuomo wrote a Pan note and spoke about his special friendship with the Jewish community. He mentioned his father’s deep connection to the Crown Heights community and his longstanding friendship with Rabbi J.J. Hecht, and noted that his own first public appearance was on Rabbi Hecht’s radio program.
Governor Cuomo said he wished the Jewish community a happy new year.

























He killed 15000 Seniors during covid including my Mother הי”ד.
He picked on Orthodox neighborhoods during covid
He molested many women.
Should our “self appointed” !Crown Heights “community activists” hang out with him???
Or MUCH worse endorse him
ח”ש???!!!
Problem is that he’s the better of the 2 evils.
THE ALTERNATIVE IS MUCH WORSE. WAKE UP !!!
Why do the powers-that-be insist on shlepping these insincere, crooked and untrustworthy politicians to the Ohel? Why is the Rebbe’s kovoid being abused, sullied and taken advantage of in such a shameful manner, for the political expedience of these contemptible characters?? Please, for the sake of the Rebbe, stop this false virtue-signaling now!
Perhaps the blessing will be that Cuomo will NOT be mayor— Eric Adams will (or Sliwa) but the Rebbe’s blessing to Cuomo might be that Cuomo does teshuva of sorts. I’m really rooting for Eric Adams for so many good reasons about his so impressive and for real faith based leadership in the face of so much adversity. Let’s stay prayerful and thankful in advance for New York City and Minneapolis and every where that the literal jihadist candidates should lose with flying colors bezH. Hashem can do it all. And the Rebbe is not fixated on his own kavod.… Read more »
Let them prepare for the experience by meeting with our ordinary citizens and marking hachlotos on the record.
you think it’s a better idea to filter who may go to the rebbes’ ohel? you think you can judge someone else’s vices and virtues?
Because they believe in the power of men more than anything else
The light is concealed!
Hearing this that he molested woman makes me uncomfortable voting for him.
Hearing he molested woman and knowingly sent seniors to their death makes me feel like not voting At the same time,he has our community backs more than mamdani and adams won’t win. In the end We have to be smart.
always make decisions. some make very bad ones. the place to judge them is in the voting booth – and specifically as to which is better for all your interests, or the primary ones
only eric adams, he is our true friend
Is 100% culpable for Mamdani getting elected.
If he had a chance of winning, but Eric Adams has 0 chance. Only Cuomo han beat the Hamas guy.
After davening at the Ohel, perhaps Mr Cuomo should walk over and pay his respect and beg for forgiveness at the graves of our community members whom he murdered during the China virus.
Hope he wrote real commitments to the Jewish people in NYC in particular and to the Jewish people around the world in general. support to Israel in the war against our enemies etc…..the Rebbe won’t own him anything if he did.
No one thought DJT was gonna win. He went on OCTOBER seventh 2024, polls started turning and then he won.
Everyone thinks mamdani is gonna win….
There’s a big issue here. Coumo or adams needs to step down. These two opposing candidates are in each other’s way and in the literal way of beating mamdani. Big big issue.
Can’t vote against an Ohel pic.
Okay. Now he has a chance of winning. I still don’t forgive him for a lot of things, and I see Eric Adams as the best candidate by far. But when people visit the Rebbe, we’re all winners. Let’s see what happens, as part of Moshiach times.
Eric Adams is a frequent visitor to the Ohel.
We have been into Moshiah times for decades now.. let’s try to have Moshiah be Poel because it’s getting extremely darker very quickly
Make NYC Great Again!
I am a Republican, and I want him to leave the race so we can stop Mamdani. I don’t understand why Sliwa doesn’t get it.
Private visit but we all know about it?
So how is it private?
in my family of 5 registered voters, 2 are for Sliwa, 2 for Adams and now I will vote for Cuomo, we must not allow Mamdani to win.
Lol
That’s exactly how mamdani wins
Split the vote.
Then he gets the highest percentage. Unless all three unite on one ticket
Ex New York state Governor Cumo resigned in shame.
How is it possible for him to be mayor of our great city?
We need a one on one election Adams versus Mamdani. Not a split vote.
The Hands of Hashem
He will do what’s the absolute best for us. We have a chance to daven for the seemingly impossible. Grab the opportunity.
In a Monday interview with The New York Times, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo described the conflict in Gaza as “horrific” and called for an immediate end to the violence. Cuomo, long a staunch defender of Israel, carefully distanced himself from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and emphasized the humanitarian crisis affecting civilians.
He stated today that he is softening up on the Palestinians and cares more about them then Israel
Read between the lines. Hes a politician.
trump got elected bc the alternative was considered worse by majority of people.so he was the only better option. mamdani could get elected because the majority don’t have any alternative clear good choice to pick from
What makes this a private visit? Curious.
Get over it. As things stand now the communist Muslim brotherhood terrorist is going to win. Let that sink in and plan accordingly frum yiden of NYC.
