Statement by the President on Yom Kippur
As
Jews across America, Israel, and the world gather for the sacred
service of Kol Nidre, Michelle and I extend our wishes for an easy fast
to all those observing Yom Kippur. The Day of Atonement is a time for humility, reflection and repentance,
a chance to be honest with ourselves and one another about our
shortcomings. Yet Yom Kippur is also a day of hope. Through our
prayers and through our actions, as individuals and as
a community, we can better bridge the realities of our world with the
ideals and values we share. On this special day, may our common
humanity unite us, and may our common faith in a better future inspire
us to continue healing our world. G’mar Chatimah
Tovah.
