The Jewish comedian Modi Rosenfeld, who goes by Modi, drops out of a Passover event after finding out that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is participating.
Mamdani is delivering a speech at a Passover event at City Winery in Manhattan.
Modi, who is Israeli-American, was supposed to perform, but says that he was “not told Mamdani was participating in this event until today.”
“Modi will no longer be attending,” a statement on his social media says.
