Jews to President Bush: Happy Arbor Day!
By Brian | September 6, 2007 | Share on Facebook
President George W. Bush issued the following statement today, September 5, 2007:
I send greetings to those around the world celebrating Rosh Hashanah.
The sound of the Shofar heralds the beginning of a new year and a time of remembrance and renewal for the Jewish people. During these holy days, men and women are called to reflect on their faith and to honor the blessings of creation.
The enduring traditions of Rosh Hashanah remind us of the deep values of faith and family that strengthen our Nation and help guide us each day. As Jewish people around the world come together to celebrate Rosh Hashanah, it is a chance to look to the new year with hope and faith.
Laura and I send our best wishes for a blessed Rosh Hashanah and shanah tovah.
GEORGE W. BUSH
It’s a lovely message, except that Rosh Hashanah doesn’t begin until sundown on September 12, 2007 (next Wednesday evening).
In the spirit of the President’s message, and on behalf of Jews throughout the world, I’d like to take this opportunity to wish him and his wife, Laura, a safe and happy Arbor Day.
