NEW YORK – Rep. Jamaal Bowman issued the following statement on Yom Kippur:

“On behalf of my office and my family, I want to take this occasion to wish an easy and meaningful fast to everyone observing Yom Kippur in our district and around the world. This day is a reminder for all of us to contemplate how humility and repentance can help us create a more peaceful, compassionate, and caring world. By honoring our universal humanity, we can build greater respect for each other, ourselves, and our interconnectedness as a people. It’s my privilege to represent the thriving Jewish community in NY-16, a district where our diversity as well as our shared experiences make us stronger. G’mar Chatima Tovah.”
