U.S. Senate Republican nominee Marco Rubio today issued the following statement regarding Rosh Hashanah:
"As Rosh Hashanah begins tonight at sundown, my wife Jeanette and I send best wishes to our Jewish friends and neighbors across Florida and the world. Rosh Hashanah marks the beginning of the Jewish New Year and a celebration of the world's creation. For us, it is also a reminder of America's Judeo-Christian roots, our common values and the special bond we share with the Jewish people.
"In this time of the High Holidays, we ask that blessings be bestowed upon the land of Israel and that peace be fostered among Israel and all her neighbors. To our Jewish friends and neighbors, may you be inscribed and sealed in the Book of Life, and have a good and sweet new year. Shanah tovah u'metukah."
