Zohran Mamdani’s rise may look like a progressive triumph, but Rabbi Dunner warns it’s a dangerous mirage. In this biting analysis, he exposes Mamdani as a modern-day Korach—charismatic, radical, and ultimately destructive. With sharp observation and Torah insight, Dunner calls out the populist façade threatening to turn New York into a city ruled by slogans, not solutions.

A Populist In New York

In the late 1990s Rabbi Dunner presented his own daily 2-hour radio show on London’s multiethnic station, Spectrum Radio. Tens of thousands of listeners – Jews and non-Jews alike – tuned in every day to hear Rabbi Dunner’s take on current events. In 2011 Rabbi Dunner relocated to the US and became the senior Rabbi at Beverly Hills Synagogue.
