*Please note: Bill de Blasio is no longer in the race and therefore will not be participating in the NY-10 Candidate Forum. |
After a state court judge approved new congressional maps for New York that dramatically redrew the lines for the 10th congressional district, it created an open seat for the lower half of Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn. The race includes a current and former member of the House, two who have served in the Assembly, a City Councilmember, the former Mayor of New York City, and an attorney who represented the House Judiciary Committee during the first impeachment of President Trump.
The winner will go on to represent a highly diverse community in a district that has the largest Jewish population of any congressional district in the nation. The event will be moderated by Senior Rabbi Rachel Timoner of CBE and Senior Political Reporter Jacob Kornbluh of the Forward. As you prepare to exercise your right to vote in the Democratic primary in NY-10, join us to hear the candidates address the crucial issues facing our city and our country, from inflation and the war in Ukraine to gun control, abortion, climate change, and the culture wars. Congregation Beth Elohim (CBE) in partnership with the New York Jewish Agenda (NYJA) and the Forward will be hosting a candidate forum for the NY-10 District. |

The Forward presents an evening of conversation about how millennial American Jews are building community in, and outside of, traditional spaces.
American Jewry is more diverse than ever, and 41% of Jews between the ages of 18-29 report not feeling attached to any particular branch of Judaism. Queer yeshivot, neighborhood minyanim, Jewish artist fellowships and political organizing around social justice, including Israel, have taken root in their place.
“Hineni” — which means “Here I am” — is a conversation with diverse Jews from across New York City discussing what is gained (and lost) by making Jewish life outside of traditional spaces, whether denominations are still effective and what this potential shift away from traditional spaces means for American Judaism culturally and politically. Panelists for the evening include: Abby Stein, writer and activistKendell Pinkney, rabbi and theatre artistArielle Angel, editor-in-chief of Jewish Currents Alex Zeldin, columnist for the ForwardThe event will be moderated by the Forward's deputy opinion editor, Nora Berman. It will be both in-person in Brooklyn, NY, and livestreamed to viewers at home. Doors for the in-person event will open at 7 p.m. E.T. and the livestream will begin at 7:30 p.m. E.T. (4:30 p.m. P.T.). This event is hosted by the Forward as part of our New York Voices project, generously supported by UJA-Federation of NY. |

After years as colleagues in Washington, Jerry Nadler, representing the West Side of Manhattan, and Carolyn Maloney, representing the East Side, are facing off in a rare incumbent-vs-incumbent primary on August 23 sparked by redistricting. Also vying to represent the newly-drawn 12th district are attorney Suraj Patel, who came within 3 points of beating Maloney in 2020, and first-time candidate Ashmi Sheth.
Will the last Jew left in New York’s congressional delegation be reelected? Will New York’s senior congresswoman receive another term? Or will one of the newcomers upend Manhattan politics?
As you prepare to exercise your right to vote in the Democratic primary in NY-12, join us to hear the candidates address the crucial issues facing our city and our country, from inflation and the war in Ukraine to gun control, abortion, climate change and the culture wars. With: Carolyn MaloneyJerry NadlerSuraj PatelAshmi Sheth Moderated by Matt Nosanchuk, president of New York Jewish Agenda, and Jodi Rudoren, editor-in-chief of the Forward.
