IMHO, he should not delay it. It's a matter of life and death, which supersedes Shabbat observance, and certainly Shabbat attendance by some of the faithful. For those few more hours, Wilhelm the Horrible will still be mayor, and his corrupt, inept, mendacious rule will remain in effect, and people may die. It's not worth it.

Capital “P” for pandering.

Can we move the inauguration up to December 31? Warren Wilhelm might do like the Clintons and trash the mayor’s office on the way out.

Hope he didn’t shabbat his pants.

Great idea. Early December 31. Won’t interfere with Shabbat observance of his supporters, although that would be a Friday and might interfere with some Muslim supporters. Oh, the Hell with it! Hold it right now. If Wilhelm has a hissy fit, have some burly, de-funded policemen about to be reinstated escort him out of City Hall and down the steps onto his ear.

I thought it was considerate. The average non-Jew wouldn’t think of that.

It’s well meant pandering, and he’s hardly the first to ever pander. But no. Five more minutes of Wilhelm as Mayor is eight years too many.

Shabbat starts on Friday, 31JAN2021 at 4:20pm.
It ends at 5:25pm on 1JAN2022 on Saturday.

Delaying from 12:00 noon until 5:30 p.m. or 6:00 p.m. I don’t consider a big deal. If it was a day (24 hours), then you’d have an argument. Having it after dark while the Christmas lights are still up will make it even more special.

“...and people may die.”

People die every day. You can’t stop them from dying whether it’s from a virus (the flu or pneumonia), a car accident, or from suicide. How many people die on an average Saturday in NYC? How many extra people do you think will die in six hours? Do you think death will stop immediately once the new guy is in office?

Could be worse, imagine if he delayed it because of Ramadan so his Muslim supporters could attend.

It says “public” swearing in ceremony - perhaps that means he will still be mayor before this and only the public ceremony is being delayed.

Think of how many drunk people from the night before will appreciate this!

Meh - I don’t have a problem with it. It’s certainly pandering but it also shows that he’s going to respect them far more than Wilhelm ever did.

I think the felon just released on miniscule bail might think twice before whipping out his shiv and stabbing another passerby to death for the thrill of it, now that there’s a new regime in town.

Remember that it was De Blasio who padlocked Jewish playgrounds and targeted Jewish ZIP codes for mandates.

This is probably Adams reaching out to make amends with NYC Jews. IMHO, it's a smart move.

I don’t live in NY anymore. But I still have friends and family there.

Good idea—stick it to the Anti-Semites out there.
