Dear Friends:
I am delighted to send greetings to everyone attending the 19th Biennial JAINA Convention.
New York is shaped by the vibrant celebrations of our faith and immigrant communities, including those of the thriving Jain community that calls our city home. Featuring panel discussions about Jainism and science, networking events, Indian classical dance performances, cultural programs, youth activities and more, the JAINA Convention will unite attendees in faith and fellowship and provide them with a forum to discover even more about the rich traditions and teachings of Jainism. I commend the Federation of Jain Associations in North America for its efforts to uplift Jains in the five boroughs and beyond, and I look forward to the ways its members and supporters will continue to strengthen New York in the years ahead. This exciting symposium is also a wonderful opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to protect the remarkable diversity and spiritual traditions that define our global city. Together, we are forging a brighter future for people of all backgrounds.
On behalf of the City of New York, I extend my best wishes for a meaningful and productive conference, and continued success.
Sincerely,
bubble
