High-powered circumcision draws pols
For being only eight days old, little Joshua Zev Greenfield showed the kind of political clout at his circumcision that would be the envy of many a power broker.
It didn’t hurt that Joshua’s father, David Greenfield, executive vice president of the Sephardic Community Federation, is one of the most respected and well-liked people in both Brooklyn’s Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jewish communities.
Among those in attendance at the bris on Ocean Parkway was Mayor Bloomberg’s campaign manager Bradley Tusk, Borough President Marty Markowitz, U.S. Rep. Michael McMahon, Assemblymembers Alan Maisel, Alec Brook-Krasny, Dov Hikind and Karim Camara, City Councilmembers Vincent Gentile and Leroy Comrie, longtime District Leader Bernie Catcher, Branford Communications President Ernest Lendler, Carl Kruger’s chief of staff, Jason Koppel and his wife, Batya Storch, who is on maternity leave from U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner’s office.
As for the bris, it came off with compassion, and many commented on the mohel’s fine job. Afterward, all in attendance feasted on excellent pastries, salad and fruit.
