The 92nd Street Y is a not for profit organization and we do not endorse any candidate or position in the election. We offer this program as public education and dialogue.

Last night, the Y hosted a special election event featuring some of the most provocative, popular and often contentious pundits expressing their unbridled opinions on a variety of pressing issues to discover which presidential candidate is the frontrunner for the “Jewish vote.” Community centers from Longboat Key, Florida to Scottsdale, Arizona tuned into the program via satellite which you can now watch in its entirety above.

Participants included: Ed Koch, mayor of New York City from 1978 to 1989, whose most recent book is The Koch Papers: My Fight Against Anti-Semitism; Michael Lerner, rabbi of San Francisco’s Beyt Tikkun synagogue, author of The Left Hand of God: Taking Our Country Back from the Religious Right and editor of Tikkun magazine; William Kristol, founder and editor of The Weekly Standard, a regular panelist on Fox News Sunday and columnist for The New York Times; Jane Eisner, editor of The Forward; and Aaron Brown, former CNN anchor and currently the Walter Cronkite Professor of Journalism at Arizona State University.
