“First the Mayor moves to restrict our right to freely practice our religion. Then he uses offensive and derisive language aimed towards our community. I am asking Mayor Bloomberg to apologize for these insensitive words, which simply do not have any place in our society, especially from our political leaders. I am also requesting that he end his attack on metzitzah b’peh and on religious freedom,” said Felder, who is Deputy Comptroller of Budget and Accounting and a candidate for State Senate in the 17th Senate District.
