The Mayor’s Jewish Guy - Moshe Davis

Moshe Davis was Mayor Eric Adams' Jewish liaison and architect of NYC's first-ever Mayor's Office to Combat Antisemitism — until he found out via tweet that the Mamdani administration was replacing him. He's the guy who handled everything from synagogue security to the "Israel Bombs Way" street sign vandalism. Moshe has dealt with the good, the bad, and the ugly of Jewish life in NYC post October 7th. Margarita and Moshe sit down to discuss Moshe's experience and where he thinks Jewish life in NYC is headed. Plus: why antisemitism is less a prejudice and more the world's oldest conspiracy theory — and what that means for how we fight it.Follow Moshe Davis on X @_moshedavisSupport our work: buymeacoffee.com/peoplejewwannaknowWhat We Discuss:00:00 Intro & Episode Agenda03:13 From MJE to City Hall07:00 What a Jewish Liaison Actually Does12:30 Building MOCA and the Final Report18:45 Getting Replaced by a Tweet24:00 Israel Bombs Way and the Whack-a-Mole Job29:30 Should Jewish New Yorkers Be Worried33:00 Why the Orthodox World Isn't Phased37:30 Antisemitism as a Conspiracy Theory, Not Just Racism42:00 What's Next & Get Off Social Media, Get Into Politics44:26 Closing Remarks & Guest Nomination
