Great interview, thanks! The story of the 'anshe bedochei' - the ones who bring peace - is from Taanit 22a - אִינָשֵׁי בָּדוֹחֵי אֲנַן - 28:15 Thank you, Rabbi
מאי עובדייכו? אמרו ליה: אינשי בדוחי אנן, מבדחינן עציבי. אי נמי, כי חזינן בי תרי דאית להו תיגרא בהדייהו, טרחינן ועבדינן להו שלמא. What is your occupation? They said to him: We are jesters, and we cheer up the depressed. Alternatively, when we see two people who have a quarrel between them, we strive to make peace.
Modi looks so much like an ex-boyfriend (now very sadly deceased) of mine that I watch him not only because he is hilarious but because he reminds me of my lost guy. Love the LGBTQ activism, too.
Unfortunately, homosexual. Pity for the Jewish people. Another disgusting individual making a mockery of the Laws of Moses. There will be a reckoning. All the Jews who accept him while he brazenly defies and defiles the Laws of Moses will also pay. And he's not funny by the way. He's just a loud mouth yenta. No real comic skills, and even less a display of comic genius.
funny guy love his stuff but what's up with the accent ?.. growing up on long island all those years you'd think it would be less eastern europe immigrant sounding ..
Bellino? Is Modi confusing his Rabbi with an Italian pizza maker? Does Modi daven at an Italian restaurant? Wasn't Bellino the cook for Mussolini? Or was it his tailor?
Modi IS great, much bigger than Jerry, in my opinion. BUT when he drops the Jewish stuff that bring him laughs and soliloquies about being gay and married - so what? Why should this be of any interest to the public, who come for laughs and maybe some insights on what it is to be a Jew in these awful times. Drop it, Modi. Who you sleep with is not the stuff of our laughs.
Many thanks Modi for Once again helping your people through the very worst of times. With your gift of laughter.
Love the interview , thank you Modi for all the energy you pass on.
So glad I discovered you today, you made me so happy. Your talent and spirit are life-affirming.

I LOVE Modi! Another excellent Jewish comedian you should interview is David Finkelstein.
That’s right! Modi has the class and the confidence. Love love love it. Yes, menschdik
Did you mean "Menschlich?"
I saw him at Comedy For Kobi (IYKYK) and the audience ROARED with laughter. It was very healing.
You give so much Moshiach Engergy!
My daughter went to Solomon Schechter of Queens. .

You mean his NY accent?
Do you know the area of Long Island where he grew up? That's the accent! All children of survivors. All with the sme accent!
Bellino?
Is Modi confusing his Rabbi with an Italian pizza maker?
Does Modi daven at an Italian restaurant?
Wasn't Bellino the cook for Mussolini?
Or was it his tailor?
Did I not understand the birds and the bees or has it changed?
How does a gay couple have children?
Maybe it is true that the stork brings them.
My Dad studied at BU and made a fortune!
Is BU a Mormon School in Utah?

MODI is a role model for me.
Dr Wayne Dyer is not.
so sad... very unhappy people
Huh? We are pretty happy people considering our history. Btw Israel is the third happiest country in the world. America is way down the list.
This interview is nothing but happiness, what are you talking about?
How?
