MENTSCH: Incoming NYC Mayor Adams to Be Sworn-In After Shabbos to Accommodate Frum Jews

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

    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!

  10. Kach says: December 15, 2021 10:22 pm 10:22 pm at 10:22 pm

    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……

    @Gadolhadorah
    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.
