Dear Assemblyman Volker: As the rabbis of a most important Orthodox Synagogue in Manhattan, we are naturally quite concerned about any legislation which might affect the ability of our congregants, together with Orthodox Jews throughout the city and state, to observe our Sabbath in the manner prescribed by millennia of Jewish law and tradition. As you are well aware, the Blue Laws have a discriminatory effect on observant Jews. We, therefore, are most anxious for provision to be made by the Assembly to enable religious Jews to pursue their livelihood without harassment.It is for this reason that we respectfully urge you to do all within your power to support the Sabbath bills currently being introduced by our Assemblyman, the Honorable Bentley Kassal, and others.We need not emphasize that we speak not only in our behalf but in the name of our entire congregation.Sincerely yours,Rabbi Leo Jung
