Tomorrow evening, our Jewish brothers and sisters begin the holiest day of the year - Yom Kippur. On this special Day of Atonement of prayer, fasting, and repentance, we have the opportunity to reflect on our lives over the past year, to reconcile past differences with others and to commit ourselves to renew our lives for the comming year with purpose, good works and love for each other.
As the Jewish community gathers in synagogues around the world over the next few days, let us all, as Nutmeggers and Americans, consider what each of us might do to strengthen our families, our communities, and our nation and help make this world a better place.
On this holy Day of Atonement, of prayer and fasting, may we be provided an opportunity to draw nearer to God through the practice of teshuva in accordance with the words of Leviticus: “For on this day shall atonement be made for you, to cleanse you; from all your sins shall ye be clean before the Lord.”
On behalf of Connecticut Republicans, we send our best wishes for a meaningful Yom Kippur and a Gmar Chatima Tova.
