On Chol HaMoed Sukkos, Mayor Zohran Mamdani was presented with a mezuzah at a gathering in Williamsburg.
According to a report by Indig, the mayor joined community leaders, elected officials, and senior law enforcement figures in the sukkah of Rabbi Shalom Landau, and the mezuzah was given “as a blessing for divine protection for all New Yorkers.”
This raises a real halachic question that the poskim have discussed for over six hundred years: may a mezuzah be given to a non-Jew?
Answer is NOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Sperka on the YSV Monsey Board and his teacher wife who can be rather odd at times, and not in a good way.
Another family who think they are G-d's gift to mankind Agudah macher types.
But just who are they?
The grandfanther Rabbi Joshua Sperka in Detroit, after semicha from Skokie, was a Left Winger Zionist who worked for the Conservative when it suited him.
Sperka was eidim by Nathaniel Peiman, a closet Maskil in Charedi levush, who sold Yiddishist kefira in his Judaica store along with mezuzos that he was mevazeh by selling them to superstitious Black folks who wore them around their necks as good luck charms! Peiman encouraged the future Mrs Sperka to hang out in gentile social clubs which she continued to do as Rebbitzen.
Rabbi Sruly Motzen attacks Joshua Sperka in this post on his shul's website:
https://nertamid.net/tough-love-holding-on-yom-kippur-yizkor/
when Joshua Sperka was the rabbi of Bnai David Detroit he was mechabed the notorious Purple Gang murderers with Mizrach vant & other kibudim. Rabbi Motzen rips Sperka to shreds that how immoral could he be to coddle these gangsters with blood on their hands, who were more ruthless than the Italians under Al Capone?! Rabbi Motzen actually launched into this as a public attack on Sperka during a Yom Kippur drosha!
