(A7) Jewish comedian Mordechai Rosenfeld, known as Modi, announced on Monday that he will not attend the annual “Downtown Seder” event in Lower Manhattan, after Jewish Insider revealed that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani will take part in the event.
The event is a Passover-themed benefit for a nonprofit focused on peacebuilding. Israeli musician David Broza is also scheduled to appear at the event.
In a post on Instagram on Monday, Modi’s representatives wrote, “We were not aware Mamdani was participating until today. Modi will not be attending this evening.”
Mamdani, who was already under fire during his mayoral campaign for his anti-Israel views, caused an uproar on his first day in office when he cancelled executive orders related to Israel, which were issued by his predecessor, Eric Adams.
The move cancelled an order signed by Adams in June of 2025 formally recognizing the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism.
Another executive order which was cancelled prohibited mayoral appointees and agency staff from boycotting and disinvesting from Israel.
Mamdani has faced multiple antisemitism controversies since taking office. A recent report indicated that Mamdani’s wife, Rama Dawaji, liked several social media posts that praised or appeared supportive of Hamas’s October 7, 2023, massacre.
Earlier this month, Mamdani was introduced at a Ramadan event by a man who called for Hamas to bomb Tel Aviv.

April 9, 2026We should all be applauding this brave wise man, Jewish comedian Mordechai Rosenfeld, known as Modi, for his moral clarity, for being brave, for being a proud Jew who knows better than to sit with Mamdani whose relentless cries for Israel to cease to exist as a Jewish State, who courts and gives platforms to Hamas supporters, who is quietly ostracizing any and all who support Israel is what we need more of. We need millions of Modi’s to stand up and turn their backs on the double talkers, smiling bigot faces of the Mandani’s who lure us in and fool us with his bigot’s smile. He pretend to be a humanitarian and the idiot Jews who are taken in breaking bread with him demean all Jews, everywhere, the dead and the living. These idiot Jews will be screaming the loudest when they come for them and their children unless they renounce any ties to Israel and eventually ties to being a Jew.
