#5, what does “adopted Jewish” mean? If the birth mother is not Jewish then the child needs not just a bris but gerus by a kosher beis din, and if not then the child is not Jewish. But this whole thing is nonsense anyway. He’s not adopted. I think “vadim” just make that up.

Regardless of how you feel about Bloomberg–and I agree his decision is unconscionable–your comments about adoption are disgusting and hurtful to the many Jewish families who have adopted children. My mother was adopted after being almost placed twice in non-Jewish homes despite the fact she was born Jewish. She married the grand-nephew of the Satmar Rebbe. Her descendants are in Agudah schools. Your statement is a shanda and proves that being frum does not necessarily prevent people from being something worse than unmentionable.

Just announce a bris on the south shore of staten island where the mohel will di metziza bipeh and the caterer will serve 300z sodas, you can be sure the city will pay plenty of attention to the neighborhood.

I don’t want to get into adoption here, but if he is adopted jewish and has a bris, he’s just as jewish as you.

But he is an inconsiderate fool.

Joe Yeshivish:
You happen to be right on the money. Charlotte R. Bloomberg, the mayor’s mother, died not long ago at the ripe old age of 102, but years earlier in 2003 she was honoured by Hadassah Hospital for a huge donation that created the hospital’s Mother and Child Center and in one of the speeche Judy Swartz who is a National Hadassah Board Member and head of the Sarah Wetsman Davidson Hospital Tower said that it was especially meaningful because Charlotte’s children were adopted so there’s your answer!!!

Bl$$mberg is an arrogant, selfish, completely out of touch, idiot! He is thrilled that there is a lack of gasoline. It makes his fantasy utopia of no cars/trucks/delivery in NYC! Only walkers, joggers, bikers, skateboarders, etc… The greening of NY – of course while HE flies around in private jets & has limo’s waiting. His lack of Rachmonis has one thinking, is he really “Me’Zera schel Avraham Avinu”!

And this is the guy that just endorsed Obama for President.
If I was a police officer assigned to the marathon, I would refuse to serve. Now is not the time for a marathon.
