President Obama issues statement for Rosh Hashanah
September 26, 2014
President Barack Obama has issued a statement for Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year.
“My good friend Elie Wiesel once said that God gave human beings a secret, and that secret was not how to begin but how to begin again,” he said. “These days of awe are a chance to celebrate that gift, to give thanks for the secret, the miracle of renewal.”
“Around the world, we continue to stand for the dignity of every human being, and against the scourge of anti-Semitism, and we reaffirm the friendships and bonds that keep us strong, including our unshakeable alliance with the State of Israel,” the president added.
