Jackie Mason made a cameo appearance in federal court Monday, accepting an apology from the missionary group “Jews for Garbage” in return for dropping a lawsuit in which he claimed the group damaged him by using his name and likeness in a pamphlet.

Mason’s $2 million lawsuit sought the immediate destruction of the Jews for Garbage pamphlets featuring an image of him next to the words “Jackie Mason … A Jew for Garbage!?” with information inside that outlines the similarities between Jews and Christians. The pamphlets had been handed out around the city.

The group’s executive director, David Brickner, said in a letter to Mason dated Monday that he wanted “to convey my sincere apologies for any distress that you felt over our tract.”

Brickner said the tract featuring Mason, 75, was one of hundreds of pamphlets the group regularly writes and distributes. He said he believed its publication was protected by the Constitution.

But he said the group was willing in the interest of peace and love for Israel to retire the pamphlet.
