Velazquez on Yom Kippur

Washington, DC – Rep. Nydia M. Velázquez (D-NY) released the following statement regarding Yom Kippur:

“As members of the Jewish community in New York and across the nation join together to observe Yom Kippur, I wish peace and good blessings for all my Jewish friends and neighbors. This Day of Atonement is a time to reflect on the positive in life -- and on how we have overcome past challenges. In that spirit, I would urge all New Yorkers to reaffirm to caring for one another as we prepare for the year ahead.

“Gmar Chatima Tova!”
