Tonight begins the Jewish harvest festival of Sukkot. May a sukkat shalom — a shelter of peace — spread over our city. To all celebrating: Gut Yontif and Chag Sukkot Sameach!

Yes, sir. We need a shelter of peace spread over our city. We should all live in peace and harmony. Hate should have no place here. May all our Jewish neighbors enjoy a good Sukkot. 🔯

I learned about the festival of Sukkot over 30 years ago in the middle of Kansas in a Methodist church with a very progressive minister. He set up a sukkah in the front of the church. Thank you for the reminder of such a lovely tradition.

The ultimate ancient hack: building a temporary structure to remind us that permanence is an illusion. A physical "incognito mode" for the soul. Chag Sameach!

The UK has always been a melting pot of differences. It’s what makes us great. We need to remember that. Have a great festival!💕

I get the recognition but could we please get all religion out of our government and public square? Millions of Americans fought and died for everyone's right to practise any religion they wanted, and to protect the rest of us from religion. We must do better.

Broadly, yes. But acknowledging religious traditions feels okay to me. It’s really more when religion creeps into institutional design and decisions that an issue exists. For instance, with Trump’s batshit crazy pastor

If the Christo Fascist had not taken over the government I might agree with you but we need some hard lines to bring back normalcy. We need to respect everyone. Many in this country want nothing to do with the moral bankruptcy supported by the primary religions.

Well, I’m not religious myself. But I know many religious people who are lovely. However, I can’t really argue with you on the weird Christian authoritarian government of the US right now. Enough to put anyone off religion for life.

'Thursday’s arrests provide a cap to this week’s actions by the pseudo-socialist Mamdani administration, which have shown how thoroughly it has abandoned any pretense of opposition to the foreign policy of American imperialism.' www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Dear Netanyahu 🤔 How ironic that a MUSLIM Mayor of NYC does more to help the Jewish people and combat antisemitism than you do and ever did. You Netanyahu are a perfect example of what is referred to as a fake prophet for personal profit.

Very true. People need to put aside ethnicity/religion and the assumptions that come with it. Let’s lump Netanyahu, his right-wing colleagues and Hamas together. Regular Muslims, Jews and Arabs have so much more in common without them.

Sorry but it is actually the right holiday. All three sets of Pilgrimage Holidays (Passover, High Holy Days, and Sukkot) in Judaism are prescribed in the Torah as parts of the exodus from Egypt.

#DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social from becoming mayor.This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against #DoorDash for underpaying #NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

And two thirds of our electorate put this dumpster fire in charge. Does that mean we condemn those who actively oppose evil because they’re the same nationality as those committing atrocities?

Thank you mayor! Many Jewish people like me ,living in other states, are so happy that you are the mayor of NY CITY that needs an honest and hard working person like you in the position!

All religions can stfu at this point. Do your religious stuff behind closed doors. The public domain has been saturated with this in/out group stuff for so long. Rhode Island might be the only sane place in the US.

Properly speaking, it is less a *harvest* festival than a bringing-in-the-produce-that's-been-drying-in-the-fields-over-the-summer festival, but a similar idea.

So you’re trying to appeal the Netanyahu antisemitism claims by ignoring the protestors and a goodwill tiding to NY Jews? This doesn’t sit well with me, why wasn’t there a plan to arrest Netanyahu despite legal authority, when has that stopped the Trump administration?!

I’m saying there wasn’t any plan to address NYPD authority issues on arresting Netanyahu. Protesters were arrested though. And now to counter the BS antisemitism claims it’s a good faith tiding during a holiday. So the action on this is failing to have any accountability for an ongoing genocide.

Not sure, but weren’t the protesters blocking traffic. I think protesting is okay, but not if it breaks laws. Good trouble. Mamdani had said that he did not have the legal power to arrest Netanyahu. These are terrible times. There were a lot of Jewish folks protesting, let’s wish them well.

Mamdani has no power over that arrest, as he’s noted & lamented many times. Not all Jews support Netanyahu, just as not all Americans support Trump. Being against genocide isn’t the same as being antisemitic. It’s proper for a mayor to wish a large part of his constituency well on their holy day.
