THE WHITE HOUSE,
•   WASHINGTON
Nancy and I welcome the observance of Rosh
Hashanah andKom Kippur as an opportunity to
send special greetings to the Jewish people    .-• ,
and to wish you every health and happiness for
the coming year. , •
According to Jewish legend, "Three books are
opened on Rosh Hashanah! one for the wholly
righteous, one for the wholly wicked, and one
for the intermediates. The wholly righteous
are at once inscribed and sealed in the Book of
Life; the Wholly wicked are at once inscribed
and sealed in the Book of Death; and the intermediates are suspended from Rosh Hashanah to ■,
Yom, Kippuri" However, .even the most severe •
decree' can be averted by repentance, acts of
kindness and prayer.
As the Jewish New fear commences, Jews throughout
the world will begin a. period of introspection
and atonement and a reexamination of their personal1 relationship with God. The stirring sound
of- the Shofar wil,l echo in prayer services everywhere, calling out to all of the Jewish Faith.
Nancy and I Join with you in the spirit of this
solemn holiday and in your prayers for the New Year.
Our heartfelt wish is that at the conclusion of
the Days of Atonement, each of you may be inscribed
for a good year in the Book of Life and that we may
work together to build a world of peace for our
children and freedom for all mankind.
