Today, Congressman John Sarbanes (D-Md.) released the following statement for Rosh Hashanah:
"Tonight, as Jews in Maryland and across America come together to celebrate Rosh Hashanah, I wanted to wish everyone in the United States, Israel and around the world a peaceful, healthy and sweet New Year.
"Rosh Hashanah is a time of deep reflection and introspection. It is also a time to celebrate and to look forward to the next year as one that will make the world a better place by bringing more tolerance, hope, opportunity and freedom to our global society.
"L'shanah tovah, from my family to yours."
