The Bobov sect, a significant Hasidic group in Brooklyn, has endorsed former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo for mayor in the upcoming Democratic primary. Community leaders believe Cuomo is the best candidate to advocate for their values amid competition from more left-leaning candidates, particularly Zohran Mamdani, whose stance on Israel concerns Jewish voters.
