ORIGINAL Copy
THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
Mrs. Ford and I send warmest greetings to our fellow
Americans of the Jewish Faith as you observe the High
Holy Days.
This year adds a special dimension to the meaning of
your observance. These solemn days are marked by
a traditional exhortation to prayer and self-examination.
They mirror in a unique way the general mood in our
country as we approach the celebration of our National
Bicentennial.
On the eve of the two hundredth year of our independence
as a nation, we are joined as Americans in a spirit of
reflection, renewal and reaffirmation. This same spirit
has united the Jewish people for centuries in the observ-
ance of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
Each of you can take deep pride in the profound and
positive influence of the Judaic heritage on our national
life. The principles that guide you in your religious
worship have also inspired countless and enduring con-
tributions of the Jewish people to humanity and social
justice. Your values are a great component of our quest
for the brotherhood of man under the Fatherhood of God.
The inspired leadership and special sensitivity of Juda-
ism in areas of humanitarian concern fill many brilliant
chapters of America's history.
Mrs. Ford and I extend our sincere best wishes for the
Jewish New Year. May it witness world progress toward
fulfillment of the prophets' vision of peace and prosperity
for all mankind.
