“Tonight, New Yorkers will once again gather at the table to sing, eat, drink wine and fulfill the scriptural commandment to tell the story of a people’s liberation from slavery. Passover calls us to consider the meaning of freedom, the value of inviting the stranger into your home and the need to leave no one behind. Like so many generations before us, let us all be inspired by this timeless story that has so much to say to our time and fight for justice, reach our hand out to those who need help and offer our neighbor kindness and hospitality. On behalf of my family and 8.5 million New Yorkers, I would like to wish a happy Passover to all who celebrate here and around the world. Chag Sameach.”
