More about Modi:
Voted one of the top 10 comedians in New York City by The Hollywood Reporter, Modi is one of the comedy circuit’s most sought-after performers. Featured on HBO, CBS, NBC, ABC, Comedy Central, Howard Stern, and E! Entertainment, Modi has received rave reviews in The New York Times, Time Out NY, and The New York Post.
Born in Tel Aviv, Israel, Modi emigrated with his family to the United States at the age of seven and was raised on Long Island. After graduating from Boston University, he worked as an investment banker until his first open-mic night made him realize that stand-up was his true calling. Equipped with a sharp wit and a knack for reading an audience, Modi has gone on to become a successful fixture in New York's vibrant comedy scene, often doing bits that incorporate his heritage, and he is a hit with diverse Jewish audiences as well as fans of all backgrounds and beliefs.
Now a regular performer at the New York and Los Angeles comedy clubs, Modi also headlines around the country and across the globe. He is a co-founder of The Chosen Comedy Festival, a celebration of Jewish humor that was launched in 2022. The festival features diverse comedy acts and has brought laughter to thousands of people in NYC, Miami, Los Angeles, and more.
Modi has played himself on HBO's Crashing and Netflix's When Jews Were Funny. He's also appeared in several feature films and played leading roles in two: Waiting for Woody Allen, which won the LA Film Festival, and Stand Up, a feature-length film. In 2018, Mayor Bill De Blasio declared June 26th 'Mordechi Modi Rosenfeld Day' in the city of New York for his accomplishments and contributions to the artistic community.
I saw the video of that kiddush...it was stunning, beatiful amd moving.
I haven't seen the kiddush online but I will lol it up. I think that it's an absolutely wonderful think you did bringing kiddush to all these gay men on the beach. I think the saddest thing is for someone being alienated from their Judaism. Many of the men who showed up would have never shown up for kiddush anywhere and they even wore Kippot Wonderful. Nachas.
As a Pacific Northwest jew, the stories of a Fire Island kiddish sound like the stuff of myth and legend. I can’t get 2 jews together to light candles let alone the number you can draw.
We just don’t have an equivalent of Fire Island in these parts.
Keep tradition alive...fact it was 50 souls that got together to receive shabbat....am yisrael chai.
I love fire island and this is a wonderful share of challah, love, community and celebration of joy for Shabbat tradition. Modi is a mensch as is his partner Lovely Leo and guests. Jake is a dear heart who’s family and friends are blessed to have in their lives. Thank you 🙏 much mazel and best of health always.
Awesome podcast ! Jake is awesome . I have a signed copy of his first book and will get one signed from Robina his MIL. Bravo you all for making me roll on floor laughing ! Shana Tova!
Thanks for listening
You are a sweet sweet man MODI
Still don’t believe that mordi is gay ..he just doesn’t give off that vibe at all ..he’s definitely straight just faking it
What makes you think that he's faking it? (I am not being combative; I am just curious. As a gay man, I have met non flamboyant men like him.)
