New York's faith leaders expressed their concerns to Governor Hochul about the potential removal of Mayor Eric Adams, advocating for careful deliberation. Rev. AR Bernard emphasized the need for a thoughtful response, while Joseph Potasnik highlighted Adams’ supportive stance towards the Jewish community amid rising antisemitism. Both leaders viewed their meeting positively, acknowledging the importance of including diverse perspectives in the governor's decision-making process regarding the mayor's future, particularly in light of ongoing political pressures and allegations against Adams.
Clergy are concerned about an immediate and unthought-out response from anyone to the Eric Adams situation and appreciated the governor meeting with us to include different perspectives in her deliberation.
Eric Adams has been a very important voice who has stood up for the Jewish community during an important time when others were silent.
