Team – I’ve been reflecting a lot on my Jewish faith recently.
Earlier this month, I had the honor of joining a bipartisan delegation to travel to Israel for their 75th anniversary – and as a Jewish-American, the experience was profound and truly remarkable.
So as we honor the 75th anniversary of the state of Israel, I wanted to take a moment to share a little bit about my Jewish faith and how it has shaped my life.
My Jewish faith was one of my motivating reasons to enter politics. Judaism is a religion grounded in the belief of fighting for those who have been left behind – those who are not truly free. The story of Passover, specifically, embedded in me the importance of fighting for justice, fairness, and freedom from a young age. In fact, we named our son Elijah (a central figure in Judaism and the Passover Seder).
That's why I entered a career in public service. To answer the call to create a more free, just, and fair nation. To join the fight to deliver for the children and families across our district who have long been left out and left behind. And to work to bend the arc of the moral universe in the direction of justice.
My Judaism has left an indelible mark on my life, and for that, I am eternally grateful.
Thanks for reading. It’s the honor of my life to fight for a more just nation and world in Congress.
Appreciate you,
Greg
P.S. To keep fighting for freedom, equity, and fairness in Congress, I’m going to need the support of this grassroots team. If you are able, will you make a donation to our people-powered campaign today? |
