geshicked: Obviously he can’t make an outright public commitment to simply repeal it without a hearing. “Reevaluate” means a hearing leading towards “possible” repealing, which is the obvious goal.

Toras Moshe, De Blasio committed himself only to “reevaluate” and that gets a B”H??! Let him ‘reevaluate’ now and make the promise to eliminate it. Anything less is just lies and political-speak

Bloomberg also ridiculed “10,000 Jews with hats.” And he has stated privately that religion is the cause of wars, said to a smicha student. He hates Judaism because of his nonobservant status. Just likes he’s got Napoleon Syndrome, likely because he’s short.

The Post basically denounces Bloomberg for creating a “nanny state” by regulating the religious practices of metzitza b’peh. The paper also says many activities — riding a bike, driving a car, getting surgery — all entail some degree of risk. It asks rhetorically will Bloomberg next require consent forms for children riding a bike?

B”H the next Mayor de Blasio has committed to reevaluate Bloomy’s new Bris regulation towards the goal of eliminating it.

Why? The fact is, that MBP was originated by Chazal as a health issue. So it does belong to the Dept of Health.

We never do MBP on adults or older boys who became Balei Tshuvah, because its only a health remedy.
