Hoyer Statement on Rosh Hashanah
WASHINGTON, DC - House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement on Rosh Hashanah, which begins today at sundown:
“This evening, Jewish families across the United States and around the world will gather to usher in a new year full of hope that it will be a sweet and joyful one. I share in that hope and extend my greetings for a Shana Tova U’Metuka to all who are celebrating the holiday, particularly those wearing the uniform of our country and serving far from their homes and loved ones.
“Rosh Hashanah is a moment both for reflection on the year that has passed and an opportunity to start anew. As families come together over the festive meal, and as friends and neighbors assemble in synagogue to pray for renewal and to hear the powerful blast of the shofar, we celebrate the long and storied history of the Jewish people.
“My prayer for the year 5776 is that it may be truly a sweet and promising one for all.”
