‘Shabbat dinner’ packed with anti-Israel activists charged up to $5,000 a head
A dinner purportedly meant to honor the Jewish Sabbath was filled with a stomach-churning assortment of radical anti-Israel activists, critics told The Post.
Tickets for the Friday night dinner organized by guerrilla activist group Climate Defiance ran as high as $5,000 a pop to nosh with a who’s who of lefty darlings, including anti-Israel provocateur Linda Sarsour; Democratic congressional candidate Brad Lander; radical Queens Democratic socialist Tiffany Caban who was arrested for protesting the war in Gaza; and anti-Israel, Mayor Mamdani-linked trans rabbi Abby Stein.
The kosher and vegan-friendly meal at the home of “social activist” filmmaker Jill Goldman celebrated the Tribeca Film Festival climate hysteria flick “Just Look Up,” which follows Michael Greenberg, founder of Climate Defiance.
Boasting “no phones, no cameras, no tech” the “traditional Shabbat meal” will “break bread” and “build community,” welcoming allies of all “faiths, backgrounds, and traditions,” the invite said.
But critics didn’t buy the supposedly inclusive and intersectional lovefest.
“Why is this being done in secrecy? What is it that you’re going to say that needs to be hidden from the public? Knowing who the players are, this feels like it’s using Shabbat as a cover,” Jewish activist Tali Goldsheft of the “Politically Homeless No More” movement fumed to The Post, alleging the ban on devices at the end shields it from potential scrutiny.
Earlier this month Israel banned Sarsour, the former co-chair of the Women’s March, from a planned visit, which drew outrage from anti-Israel group CAIR.
Lander, the former city comptroller, has been accused of fueling the anti-Israel BDS movement by divesting government funds from Israel bonds when they matured. This month, he appeared in an ad for hateful far-left Democratic socialist, US-bashing congressional hopeful Darializa Avila Chevalier.
The Boycott, Divest and Sanction, or BDS, campaign is an international effort aimed at isolating and delegitimizing the world’s only Jewish state.
“Like David Duke, Linda Sarsour is a bigot and a social pariah,” ripped Goldsheft, who accused the Jewish Lander of “using a Jewish tradition to promote himself alongside Sarsour,” who came under fire for her fealty to antisemite Louis Farrakhan.
Dubious onlookers moaned that the melting pot meal was anything but kosher.
“Rather than ‘Shabbat dinner,’ this is nothing more than a ‘Jew-hater dinner,’” said Michelle Ahdoot of End Jew Hatred.
“These very same people advocate for the racist BDS movement, which is unacceptable in today’s society, and frankly, this foursome’s Jew-hatred is unacceptable at any event, most of all at one that they dare to frame as a Shabbat dinner,” she added.
Climate Defiance, Lander and Sarsour did not return The Post’s requests for comment.
