BP Adams calls for Brooklyn Day of Prayer
As the National Day of Prayer and Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) fall on the same date this year, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams has proclaimed today, May 5, as the Brooklyn Day of Prayer. The day is intended to celebrate the diverse community of faith in the borough and the shared commitment to the free exercise of religion.
Every year, President Barack Obama and Congress designate the first Thursday in May as the National Day of Prayer for people of all faiths to celebrate their freedom to worship according to their traditions.
