“Tonight, Jewish people across our beloved city will join together for the Kol Nidre service to mark the start of their holiest day of the year, Yom Kippur. I am grateful for the opportunity to wish all who observe an easy and meaningful fast on behalf of the entire New York City Council.  May all of us see a better year than the last, and may all our Jewish families be inscribed and sealed in the Book of Life. G’mar Chatimah Tovah.”
