Why can't they make this on a Sunday? That way all the Jews could go because Shabbat would be over, and many Christians could go too, even churchgoers, if it was in the afternoon. If it was in the morning, then most churches have both a morning and afternoon service so there would really be no excuse anyway. Some Christians believe in resting all day on Sunday though, but I still think in a place like New York that Sunday would be a better choice than a work day.
