Could this possibly swing the vote in November?

They are a big number of votes. Could be enough to get FUKH out of office.

Orthodox Jews do tend to vote as a bloc. I doubt this issue alone is enough to swing them to Zeldin.

Add that and the state stripping their rights to a traditional religious education and it will help us. Wont be enough as said by others here. There aren’t that many Jews in NYS.
This article claims the Jewish numbers are at 1.7 million in NYS, but I don’t believe it. That’s around 8%, but I guess a Jewish person doesn’t look very different and I don’t go around asking so maybe.

Sadly US politics looks more and more like the Europe that made people flee to North America over a number of centuries.

Have no clue but believe it would be impactful if "the Jewish bloc" swung right this election for no other reason than most of NYS by county is already red but for NYC, Rockland, Westchester and perhaps a few counties in Albany area. Voter turnout is historically very low to begin with and I think Jewish population tends to make up a higher proportion of those that actually vote so while only 10-12% of actual population I believe the figures are much higher when looking at actual voters. If Kings county and Rockland turn Red I bet it would be a result of Jewish bloc swinging the pendulum. Also Zeldin is Jewish whether that makes a difference or not I guess we'll know soon enough.

Orthodox Jews vote conservative. The reformed Jews vote Democratic.

1.7 million is probably just their birth rate for this year. Have you spent any time down this way? Everybody is a Jew. Everybody.
