Nassau County Legislator Arnold W. Drucker (D – Plainview) joined with Sikhs across the 16th Legislative District in celebrating the 553rd anniversary of the birth of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, founder of the Sikh faith.

Drucker presented Nassau County Legislature citations to the leaders of Guru Nanak Darbar in Hicksville; Gurudwara Shaheedan in Hicksville; and the Guru Gobind Singh Sikh Center in Plainview as they commemorated the birth of Guru Nanak Dev Ji and his message of equality, peace, service, and interfaith cooperation.

“Nassau County’s Sikh community contributes tremendously to the richness of the cultural tapestry that makes this such a special place to live, work and raise a family,” Drucker said. “It was a pleasure to be a part of a celebration and personally thank leaders of the Sikh community for all they continue to do to put Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s visionary message of equality, peace and service into action on a daily basis.”
