Mayor-elect Eric Adams will be holding his Jan. 1st swearing-in ceremony in Brooklyn and at night, in a break from two longstanding traditions.
Adams said that his swearing-in ceremony will be held at Kings Theatre in Flatbush rather than at City Hill as per tradition so that he can become mayor in a diverse setting, and that it would take place at night so as to accommodate frum Jews who would otherwise be unable to attend, as January 1st falls out on a shabbos.
“It is symbolically impactful for me to be inaugurated as New York City’s 110th mayor from the heart of Flatbush, on behalf of this working-class community and communities like it across the five boroughs who have elected one of their own to lead our recovery,” Adams said in a statement.

Really got nothing to do with being a Mentsch. It’s a political move
I see the real estate and nursing home sectors are being very well represented what about the regular joe ?
Likes Chulent and Jews
Cant Cash it out,
watch and see
BLM
AT THE MOMENT IT MEANS NOTHING.
I JUST HOPE HE’S NOT ANOTHER DINKINS, OR WORSE STILL, DE BLASIO.
He’s not very much a Mensch if he plans to continue the illegal and ridiculous mandates
He claims he will follow the science
But those mandates only follow the science god Fauci
Who partners with the money god, profit.
Mandates for a vaccine which doesn’t prevent transmission has no chance reducing a virus
And masks don’t work according to very robust studies
lets remember Dinkins in the begining put on a yarmulka and went to Yerushalayim and went to the Lubavitcher Rebbe, this means nothing if crime will spiral and inevitably like under de blasio Jews are overwhelmingly targeted.
For those fools who criticize a politician for acting politically, and those same actions just happen to show respect for yidden, please consider going to the Amazon website and ordering some common sense. There will be plenty of political decisions we will disagree with. If you are already missing D’B, go to his website and volunteer to work on his gubernatorial campaign.
@chjewess
Why does he need to make a political move like this anymore? Election is over for 4 years, it wouldn’t help him politically. Not sure why everyone thinks that he has to be such a bad mayor.
He’s not even the Mayor yet, and already you’re missing his rear!
Good show!
Good show!
Give his backside a good licking while you’re at it!
He’s not even sworn in, and already you’re all kissing his rear!
Give it a good lick while you’re at it!
You kissed Dinkins’ but too and look what it got you!
We will wait and see if he can cut down on the surging crime and racist violence plaguing NYC……

While usually, I must admit, your comments are…. not to my taste.
I must say that Here, I could not agree with you more
All you detractors here. You dont need a different mayor, you need anxiety meds.
