Presidential Message: Rosh Hashanah, 2002
I send greetings to the Jewish community in the United States and
around the world as you observe Rosh Hashanah.
As you mark the beginning of the High Holy Days, take time to
reflect on the past year. In seeking forgiveness and renewal, may you
again appreciate the love and mercy of the Almighty, and look to the
year ahead with hope and faith. I encourage you to draw strength from
the many examples of courage, sacrifice, and compassion we have
witnessed during the last year.
As we face the challenges of a new era, America remains committed
to freedom, justice, and opportunity for all people. During this time
of examination and remembrance, I join you in looking forward to a
future of tolerance and peace.
Laura joins me in sending our best wishes for a blessed holiday
spent with family and friends.
GEORGE W. BUSH
