Both Zohran Mamdani, the New York City mayor, and Julie Menin, speaker of the New York City Council, listed on their schedules that they intended to aid in food distribution for Passover at Chasdei Lev in Brooklyn on Sunday.Menin, who is the first Jewish speaker of the council, was slated to do so at 1:30 p.m. and Mamdani was scheduled for 4 p.m. Menin listed the distribution at Floyd Bennett Field on Flatbush Avenue.
