Patriot,
Today is the Jewish holiday of Rosh HaShanah—the start of the New Year.
To my Jewish and Christian friends alike, “Shanah tovah um’tukah” (May you have a good and sweet New Year).
For the next two days, on the traditional anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve, we reflect on humanity’s role in the divinely-created world.
Of all the events in the Jewish calendar, Rosh Hashanah is particularly dear to me. The holiday’s Biblical name is Yom Teruah, which literally means the “day of shouting,” or, “day of putting things on blast.”
Custom dictates sounding a shofar, or ram’s horn, during prayer services to “raise a noise”—a Jewish tradition, and a lifelong vocation, to which I am uniquely dedicated.
This year, I call on Jews and Christians everywhere to raise a noise in response to the growing threat of anti-Semitism in the West.
We face a uniquely troubling political landscape in America, in which elected representatives show no hesitation in expressing their contempt for the Jewish people and our greatest ally in the Middle East, Israel. We all have a responsibility to speak out about these moral horrors.
Rosh Hashanah is also a time to think about our shortcomings, and resolve to do better. We are taught that God is especially open to repentance during the High Holidays, so it’s during this time that we can hope for an especially receptive ear.
Tonight, I’ll be dipping apples in honey with my campaign, family and friends with a toast to a sweet new year, looking forward to wholesome and prosperous times to come. We wish you all a happy and healthy new year. L’shanah tova!
Thank you again for all that you do.
Respectfully,
Laura Loomer
