A prominent NYC rabbi expressed cautious optimism after Mayor Zohran Mamdani quietly reinstated an Adams-era executive order that he previously revoked: One that directed the NYPD to better regulate protests outside houses of worship, including synagogues.
Rabbi Marc Schneier, president of the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding, applauded the mayor’s newly implemented Executive Order No. 2, which echoes the direction of an order that former Mayor Eric Adams had issued in December, but which Mamdani had revoked on his first day in office, Jan. 1.
