New York State Governor Kathy Hochul gave Sukkot greetings to the New York Jewish community leading up to the holiday.

“In backyards and on terraces across New York, Jewish New Yorkers are gathering with family and friends inside a Sukkah to share a festive meal in honor of the first night of Sukkot,” Hochul wrote in an official pres release. “After the solemnity of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, the harvest festival of Sukkot is a time to joyously celebrate the bounties we have received and can share with others.”

Holiday greetings from elected leaders is customary, with Hochul joining the years long tradition.

“On behalf of all New Yorkers,” she wrote. “Chag Sameach.”
