Councilmember Michael A. Brown on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur
Washington, DC-
L’shana Tova! (Happy New Year)
“As our Jewish friends and neighbors come together to welcome the new year and reflect on past actions during the next ten days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, I extend wishes for a year of peace, good health and prosperity.”
“I also encourage all District residents, regardless of faith, to participate in the many activities offered by our Jewish American community throughout the year.” The Jewish Historical Society of Greater Washington has many such events listed here:
“I especially want to highlight the current production of “Parade” at Ford’s Theater, a powerful musical drama about the true story of the trial and lynching of Leo Frank, the only Jewish man to have ever been lynched in America. This story, among many, shows that shared traits and ideas of acceptance and tolerance will always outweigh our differences.”
