Did a Shabbat lunch convince Jessica Tisch to work for Zohran Mamdani?

JL;DR SUMMARY This article explores the aftermath of antisemitic vandalism in Brooklyn, where Mayor Zohran Mamdani and NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch, despite their differing political backgrounds, have collaborated to address the issue.

But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
