No. The mayor of united Jerusalem has been a Jew ever since Israel passed the Jerusalem Unification Law. Prior to that, Jerusalem had several mayors in different districts, most of whom were Jewish and some who were Muslim. Prior to 1967, East Jerusalem had a Jordanian Muslim mayor and West Jerusalem had an Israeli Jewish mayor.

While the mayor of Jerusalem has consistently been Jewish since 1980, there is no rule on the books that prohibits a person of any other religion (most likely Muslim) from being the mayor. It is unlikely, though, given that Jews represent over 60% of the city's population, that a non-Jew would be elected.

Can a mayor run for governor and still be mayor?

In the United States of America, it is illegal for politicians to hold a dual mandate and serve in two different offices (thus accepting two separate salaries). Therefore a mayor who is elected governor must resign before taking his new office. New Jersey did have an exception to this rule, but laws changed recently to prohibit the practice of double dipping in politics. It is perfectly legal for the Mayor of London to also serve as an MP simultaneously however.
