On Wednesday evening at sunset, Jewish people around the world begin the holiest day of the year - Yom Kippur. Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement, is a day of prayer, fasting, and repentance. Yom Kippur provides the opportunity to reflect upon our lives over the past year, to ask God to forgive us for any sins or transgressions we may have committed, to reconcile past differences directly with others and to commit ourselves to renew our lives for the coming year with purpose, good works and love for each other. Wednesday night is also called “Kol Nidre” which means “All vows,” after a beautiful, melodic prayer chanted three times at the beginning of the service asking God to release us from vows made in the year just past, especially if unfulfilled.

As the Jewish Community gathers in synagogues, let all of us, as Americans, consider what each of us might do to strengthen our own families, our own communities, and our nation to help make this world a better place. Let us pray together with one voice for the spiritual, physical and economic recovery of our country and our world as we continue to emerge from the Covid-19 Pandemic.

On this holy Day of Atonement, may we be provided an opportunity to draw nearer to God through the practice of “teshuva,” which means repentance, in accordance with the words of Leviticus 16:30: “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 the Connecticut Republican Party, we send our best wishes for a meaningful Yom Kippur and a G’mar Chatima Tova to our Jewish friends. “May you be inscribed in the Book of Life.”

Sincerely,

Ben Proto
Chairman
