A Jewish advocacy group criticized Democratic socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani for sharing a video they called “sick” that mocked Hanukkah and featured people pretending to be Jewish.
Last year, Mamdani, a leading candidate for mayor, posted a video on his X account from the Geeta Brothers Duet Group. It showed two men wearing wigs, dancing behind a menorah, playing with dreidels, and celebrating with Punjabi-style music.
“Zohran Mamdani posts Indian men cosplaying Jews, spinning dreidels and lighting the menorah,” Stop Antisemitism, a pro-Jewish group, wrote on X on Saturday, sharing the controversial video.

“Our holidays and traditions are sacred and not for your comedic pleasure _ZohranKMamdani — this is sick.”
Mamdani, 33, shared the humorous song “Hey Hannukah” during last year’s Hanukkah celebration.
“Happy 3rd night of Hanukkah from Astoria and Long Island City,” the Queens lawmaker wrote on X at the time.
The video comes from a 2015 parody album called “Punjabi Christmas Album Hits” by the Geeta Brothers, a side project of Sikh-Canadian comedian Jus Reign.
Mamdani also shared a similar video from the same comedy group on Christmas Eve 2024.
“Wishing you all a very merry Christmas from Astoria and Long Island City,” the self-described “nepo-baby” wrote, posting a video for the song “Jingle Bells,” where the performers wore similar wigs.
This insensitive post isn’t the only reason Jewish New Yorkers are upset about Mamdani’s growing popularity.
Some New York City voters were shocked to receive text messages supporting Mamdani that mentioned the tragic October 7th attack in Israel.
“My friend Idan was murdered on October 7 at the Re’im music festival. The war is personal to me, as it is to many in our community,” one text shared with The Post said.
“The war is personal to me, as it is to many others in our community. Idan believed in peace, just like Zohran does,” the text continued. It’s unclear who sent these messages.
Mamdani, a state assemblyman, has also faced criticism for not supporting Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state.
Earlier this week, the Bronx Science graduate, who was born in Uganda to Indian parents, upset Black New Yorkers when it was revealed that he claimed to be African American on his Columbia University application.
Preparing for the Unexpected: Your Essential Partner in Health Readiness
In an increasingly unpredictable world—where supply chain disruptions, natural disasters, and global travel can leave us vulnerable to sudden health challenges—being prepared isn’t just smart; it’s essential.
That’s where Jase Medical steps in, offering innovative solutions that empower individuals and families to take control of their health with emergency medication kits designed for real-life scenarios. As someone who’s always advocated for proactive wellness, I was impressed by how Jase Medical combines expert medical guidance with convenient, customizable options to ensure you’re never caught off guard.
At the heart of their offerings is the Jase Case, a comprehensive emergency antibiotic kit priced at just $289.95. This powerhouse contains five life-saving antibiotics and five vital symptom-relief medications, capable of treating over 50 common infections—from respiratory issues and skin conditions to traveler’s diarrhea and more.
What sets it apart? It’s fully customizable with 28 add-on options, including a specialized KidCase for children ages 2-11, making it ideal for families.
Whether you’re stocking up for home emergencies or preparing for remote adventures, the Jase Case provides peace of mind with medications that boast extended shelf lives—up to five years or longer when stored properly, with studies showing 90% potency retention even after 20 years.
For those on the move, the Jase Go travel med kit at $129.95 is a game-changer. Curated by physicians, it addresses over 30 common travel ailments, from digestive upsets to minor injuries, ensuring explorers, hikers, and globetrotters can handle health hiccups without derailing their plans.
And for targeted concerns, Jase Medical offers specialized kits like the UTI Kit ($99.95), which includes test strips and treatments for urinary tract infections, vaginal candidiasis, and even jock itch, or the Parasites Kit (starting at $199.95), featuring compounded Ivermectin and Mebendazole to combat internal and external parasitic infections.
But Jase Medical isn’t just about one-off kits; their Jase Daily service provides an extended supply of your ongoing prescriptions, supporting hundreds of medications for chronic conditions like diabetes, heart health, high blood pressure, mental health, and more. This ensures long-term preparedness, safeguarding against factory shutdowns or extreme weather that could interrupt your regular supply.
The process couldn’t be simpler or more reassuring. Start by customizing your order online, then benefit from a thorough review by a team of world-class physicians who ensure safety and accuracy. In most cases, prescriptions are issued after a quick consultation—sometimes just a call to clarify allergies or needs—and your kit arrives discreetly at your door. While they don’t accept traditional health insurance, many customers use HSA cards, and refills are available for added convenience.
What truly stands out is the real-world impact. As radio host Glenn Beck puts it, “The supply lines for antibiotics already are stressed to the max. Please have some antibiotics on hand… You can do it through Jase.”
One satisfied customer shared, “It could have been a nightmare. Instead, the best trip we’ve had,” after their kit turned a potential health crisis into a minor blip during a family vacation.
