Dear John —

I was recently visiting with my 94-year old father (his name is Ed, no one
is funnier than him, and he lives in sunny Boca Raton) and he reminded me
about a photo – and I just had to share it with you.

Here you go. Me at 13, in all my “glory” at my Bar Mitzvah:

I’ll admit, it’s easy to chuckle at this photo – the classic 1970s bow
tie, the braces, the yarmulke, the looks – but it reminded me about
something much more important: my faith.

Throughout my career in public service, I’ve thought a lot about the
Jewish tradition of “Tikkun Olam,” or repairing the world. And over the
last few years, there has been a lot that was broken, and a lot to fix.
It’s been my cause.

Before I go any further, and I have a lot to say about this topic, I have
to ask – [ [link removed] ]will you click this link and pitch in a few dollars to my
campaign? If you are not ready yet, or need more convincing, please read
on. I have lots to share and more to say. I think you’ll like it.

I want to take you back to 1973. Our family moved around a lot because my
father was in the “schmaltz” business. He worked as a regional manager for
a men’s pantsuit company.

We moved from Massachusetts where I was born, lived a few years in
Arizona, and ended up in the Bay Area. It was there where my dad got out
of the clothing business and started a building materials yard.

This photo was taken at Temple Isaiah in Contra Costa, a reform synagogue
we joined after moving to the Bay Area. And it came after months of
practicing for my Bar Mitzvah. I even taped my practice sessions on our
tape recorder (I thought it was funny to hear your voice back then!).

While the Hebrew language skills I quickly acquired were just as quickly
lost, the lessons that my faith taught me endure and guide me to this day.

Do good. For the right reasons. And repair the world, as broken as it can
be sometimes.

Those principles have guided my work in Congress. They guided my path as I
investigated, impeached, and stood up to the most unscrupulous man to ever
occupy the Oval Office.

And they guide me in the fight we face today: Repairing and building back
our democracy to leave it better for my children and yours.

That’s why I put everything I have into my work in Congress and to the
cause of our democracy. It’s the first thing I think about when I wake up
in the morning, and what I spend all of my waking time fighting for.

[ [link removed] ]All that being said, I’m asking for your help to continue that work by
chipping in $10 to my re-election campaign. In my view, doing good, and
continuing to do that good is only possible if we prevent Donald Trump and
the Republicans loyal to him from taking control this November. It takes a
lot of resources to protect our Democratic majorities – if we don’t have
the funds our progress could be lost and our democracy will be in true
peril.

Hopefully, this photo helped brighten your day and gives you a bit more
insight into why I have dedicated my life to this cause.

Shalom!

— Adam
