Congressman Gregory W. Meeks Extends Rosh Hashanah Greetings to the Jewish Community

(WASHINGTON, DC) -- Congressman Gregory W. Meeks (D-NY), released the following statement today in recognition of the celebration of Rosh Hashanah:

“The spirit of reflection and renewal integral to Rosh Hashanah provides not just our Jewish sisters and brothers but all of us with an occasion and an opportunity to take account of where we are, what we have done, and what we need to do to improve ourselves as individuals and as a country.

“Given all the momentous decisions and challenges we face, let us draw inspiration from this holiday to look forward with hope and confidence and resolve to utilize the opportunities of a new year to enhance and enlarge the good that we do.

“Like millions of well-wishers of all faiths throughout the nation, my family and I extend our warmest greetings to the Jewish community of the Sixth Congressional District, of New York, and of America. Shana Tovah U’Metukah.” [End]
