Comptroller Scott M. Stringer On Passover Holiday

My warmest wishes go out to all Jewish New Yorkers during this joyous Passover holiday. Passover gives us the opportunity to celebrate the Jewish nation’s triumph over slavery and oppression and serves as a constant reminder of the strength of our people to endure and unite for freedom.

Passover has always been a reminder to appreciate the gifts G-d has given us. As we sit down at our seder tables this evening surrounded by family and friends, I encourage all Jewish New Yorkers to remember the great sacrifices of our ancestors that allow us to experience our freedom today.

I wish the entire Jewish community a happy and healthy Passover. L’shanah haba’ah b’Yerushalayim!
