The rabbi of a prominent Manhattan synagogue slammed Zohran Mamdani as a "danger to the security of the New York Jewish community" — as he urged congregants to back Andrew Cuomo for mayor instead.

"I believe Zohran Mamdani poses a danger to the security of the New York Jewish community," Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove, of the renowned Park Avenue Synagogue on the Upper East Side, said during his Saturday sermon.

He said Mamdani refuses to denounce the phrase "Globalize the Intifada," denies Israel's legitimacy as a Jewish state, has vowed to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and cited his "thrice repeated accusations of genocide" against Israel in Gaza at last week's mayoral debate.
