“They were the spiritual and emotional backbone, and when you have a situation where people are trying to find meaning, where something is bigger than them, when you have a crisis of this level, they often look to the clergy.”-Fernando Cabrera, New York City council

The Wall Street Journal reporting that New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, will not allow representatives from religious groups to take part in the 9/11 anniversary ceremonies.

One of the victims of the 9/11/2001 attacks, was the chaplain of the New York Fire Department.  The New York Magazine even named Mychal Judge the most famous victim of 9/11.

Rabbi Joseph Potasnik said the problem is that ceremony organizers overbooked the event: “I don’t know how to make it possible for everyone to have a place at the table.”
