Some confusion
New York City allows mosques to broadcast the Islamic call to prayer (Adhan) publicly at designated times without a special permit.
In August 2023, Mayor Eric Adams announced new guidelines to clarify that the Adhan is permitted and not subject to typical sound restrictions during these specific periods.
The current rules allow for the Adhan to be broadcast publicly at the following times:
•Every Friday between 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. for the traditional Friday prayer.
•Every evening at sundown during the holy month of Ramadan for the Maghrib prayer.
The NYPD Community Affairs Bureauworks with mosques to ensure the sound devices used are set to appropriate decibel levels. The initiative aims to provide clarity and ensure Muslim New Yorkers feel free to live their faith in the city, similar to how church bells are rung.

Why don't Cubans rise up? One answer: the life of a woman who, as a young Communist, was rewarded for believing in the party's promises of a better life built on equality for all. Grown up, she realized that those promises were never being met. nyti.ms/3d48dOc

Much gratitude to @bureauworks, @AngelineGragzin, and @BAMfilmBrooklyn for a marvelous evening of short film. Felt 🕺🏼to see my own work in that full, red cinema next to peers I so admire.
Last night's @BAMfilmbrooklyn@bureauworks event was amazing. We filled their biggest theater! There was so much laughing and applause, even a few gasps :) Thank you to every one who helped make it such a successful night.
