we close Nassau otb on Roman Catholic Easter Sunday in preference to

To Greek Orthodox Easter Sunday because we do not believe in what Andrew cuomo may say
Andrew cuomo is a bigot


Dear foolish ones

Tonight, members of the Jewish faith all across New York will begin the celebration of Passover. The message of this joyous holiday is that through hope, strength and faith in God, we can come together to overcome slavery and oppression to achieve peace and freedom for all people. 

The Seder opens with the time-honored story of the Jewish exodus from Egypt by proclaiming, "All those who are hungry should come in and eat." 

This is a stark reminder that the world is both imperfect and broken, and that we, as New Yorkers, have a moral obligation to repair it, Tikkun Olam. As we gather together this Passover, we are mindful of all those who don’t have a safe place to call home or a warm meal to enjoy with family and friends. 

The Seder concludes by proclaiming, "This year in here, next year in Jerusalem.” It’s a saying that signifies hope for the Jewish people to be physically in Jerusalem, but it’s also a reference to our metaphorical travel as we work to transcend oppression and hatred in our daily lives. 

New York’s strength is in our diversity. This Passover, as we join together, let us resolve to further this timely lesson and work to create a fairer, more just and secure state for all New Yorkers. 

Chag Sameach, 

 
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo
