I was highly shocked and upset to see that they decided to honor Modi Rosenfeld at the upcoming Gala in NYC for United hatzala. Do they have zero.zero rabbinical guidance whatsoever? Do people understand that it’s absolutely forbidden to have someone like that in the same room for even a minute? Forget honoring which is an even bigger insult to Hashem and the Torah. This is a person who publicly brags how proud he is of his alternative Life Style to religious people on stage all over the world and makes a mockery of the Torah. It’s one thing if someone has this issue and keeps it to themselves in private, not everyone could help what they are going through. But once you make it public and rejoice proudly over this complete abomination, it’s an absolute disgrace to Hashem and the Torah. We are not allowed to associate with someone like that or show them any support. This is basic Judaism 101 feel free to run it by a rabbi to check me out. I can’t believe an organization that does so much good is failing to see the moral issue of having someone like that be their honoree. I hope they wake up.

Are they honoring him or is he performing. There’s a difference.

But as religious Jews we don’t honor someone that proudly rejoices in his Rebellion against the Torah. Even if it wasn’t homosexuality and he just bragged and laughed that he doesn’t keep Shabbos, the same rule would stand. It’s a disgrace to God. In this case it happens to be him and his Husband

stop expecting any change for the better.

He was in the middle of a huge campaign trying to get NY to recognize same-gender marriage, yet they made him the guest of honor!

I don’t think they were honoring Bloomberg, they were honoring the money he gave them
This clown probably didn’t give any money

May 21, 2026 4:11 pm at 4:11 pm #2552234nevuahParticipantReb emes. You need to take the exacting morals that carry such weight for you, and round them with realistic living. Yes your right it’s not technically correct because of his beliefs but he’s just a comedian so it’s ok.
They…whoever they arent thinking that deep and or they don’t hold your strict opinions, therefore their world won’t look the way you want theirs to look. Right?
We need to differentiate these things because it’s important not to try to put so much weight on controlling the narrtive. Relax. Life is not. That. Serious. At all.
It’s all ganna be….ok. ok? -
