Former New York governor Andrew Cuomo addressed a group of women activists, donors and movers and shakers at the Central Park West home of Third Point hedge funder Daniel Loeb and his philanthropist, filmmaker wife, Margaret Munzer Loeb, we hear.

Sources said that the recent session was on combating antisemitism in New York.

An invitation to the event went out from political fundraising consultant Jennifer Bayer Michaels saying, “As darkness surrounding October 7th continues to be a burden difficult to bear, many of us are seeking answers, strategies and coping mechanisms in dealing with the multitude of issues within our government and beyond.”

The email continued, “There have been so few answers and far few strategic plans to tackle this gargantuan problem our Jewish community faces. A source of support for me has been the guidance and counsel of former Governor Andrew Cuomo. His affection for Israel runs deep. His strategic advice has been invaluable.”

“I’d like to be able to share his ideas and input on where we go from here with those of us who seek to make an impact for our community and positively affect change.”

Co-hosts of the meeting, according to the email, included venture capitalist Lisa Blau (who is also the wife of Related Companies CEO Jeff T. Blau), entrepreneur Lynn Zises and Simone Levinson (who’s also the wife of real-estate investor David Levinson).

A Cuomo rep declined comment, but said: “This is a time for purpose-driven action, and Governor Cuomo looks forward to working with likeminded people to support the Jewish community during these daunting times.”

Cuomo has been attempting a behind-the-scenes comeback.

He’s previously spoken at a prominent Brooklyn Democratic club gathering, as well as at events in the Hamptons, and met with Mayor Eric Adams as well as the former president of the Hotel Trades Council.

There has been buzz that he could potentially run for mayor of NYC, and polls have suggested he could beat Adams in a primary.

Cuomo resigned as governor under threat of impeachment in 2020 after a number of women accused him of sexual misconduct, and he denied the accusations.

Cuomo later said he regretted stepping down.

He has also recently blasted his own party, including President Biden.
