I'm about to explode. הייתה עצומה אולי לא תעשה את זה הבא בתור Let us stand up for the appreciation of faith and remain standing for the opening prayer that the moon will make.

The host's friend, Nab. A temporary president. Two weeks ago, they were disappointed by Mark Kess' sudden death, who lives life as Jesus taught us. What you would do to one of the smallest animals, you would do to me. And today, this decision will be made, which will be presented to Mark's family. He decided to introduce Mark Kass to his long-standing legacy and his contribution to the north side of Syracuse and the new American communities. Hoel and Mark Kass were the leaders of his old community on the north side, and an actor who dedicated himself to supporting residents of marginalized communities and strengthening relationships in the neighborhood. Hoil and through his work at the Center for Learning of the North Side, he served as a member of a committee and later as a director. Hoil and Mark helped provide educational opportunities, support in the English language, employment and other benefits to homeless families and immigrants who built new lives in Syracuse. During the years of his service, Mark became a friend from Yemen, a partner and an activist for many cultures that include the northern side of Syracuse. He worked to ensure that new American families would feel encouraged and supported through his help in building relationships beyond cultural and community lines. His kindness, humility and his ability to help others have made him a respectable presence along the northern side. And among organizations and people, many are working to strengthen the community in Syracuse. I will continue to influence many years and I ask for the implementation of the decision. תודה.
תודה, חבר המועצה. פריק 24. האם יש התנגדויות? דיון נוסף. מזכיר, אנה קרא להצבעה. מי בעד? אני. מתנגד. פה אחד. תודה. חבר המועצה.

This is my number. Amem.
For anyone who had the courage to go to St. Lucie Church, you will understand that it is apparently one of the most accepted and liberated places in Syracuse. Amemki. As a homo child who grew up in the Catholic Church, it is not always the easiest place for us. Amem, when I entered the streets of St. Lucie as a young man for the first time and later in the years of minus 20 and minus 30 for the wedding soldiers, weddings and community meetings, and there they help refugees learn English and eat the neighborhood around them. Amem, the father of Matthews is a light in this city and it comes to him that the street will be cold on his name, from my point of view and from the point of many others. אז היכולת לקרוא לדרך הזאת על שמו, דרך האב ג'ים, כשהוא מתכונן לפרוש ביום הולדתו ה-90, היא זכות עבורי. עמם והוא באמת מתנה לעיר הזאת. אז, דיון נוסף. עמם אני רק אוסיף שכמי שפקד את כנסיית סנט לוסי במשך שנים רבות, ביתי הוטבלה שם ואני רוצה להדהד את מה שיושב הראש בדיוק אמר.
Ha'av Jim became this place for a face-to-face community. Amam serves the most friendly people in our city and I know that he goes out and shows people that there is food in the houses, sometimes from his personal money. Amam, I don't think you'll find a person who is caring and more careful not to talk about a Catholic land like Ha'av Jim. So I fully support this. Thank you, Jimmy. And I think this is a wonderful decision that we are making. Thank you.
