The inauguration was originally scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 1, at noon, but will now take place in the evening after the end of the Sabbath, according to an announcement this week.
Adams received strong support from the Orthodox Jewish community, especially in Brooklyn, in the recent mayoral election. He was endorsed by one of two factions of the Satmar community in Williamsburg.
Adam also moved the location of the inauguration from the traditional City Hall in Manhattan to the iconic Kings Theatre in Brooklyn.
