THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
On the occasion of the High Holy Days, Mrs. Ford and I want
to express special greetings to our fellow Americans of the
Jewish Faith.
The celebration of our nation's Bicentennial has evoked in all
Americans a deeper appreciation of our rich and varied ances-
tral legacy. We have been reminded in a special way that our
national character has been shaped by the accumulated wisdom
and experience of many nations and individuals.
It is only fitting that we express our pride in the indelible
stamp of Jewish wisdom and experience on our way of life.
This influence was strong and vital from the moment the
American continent became a promised land of hope and oppor-
tunity. Our early settlers closely identified with the teach-
ings of the Prophets and dedicated themselves in this spirit to
building a land that would make the vision of the Prophets a
reality.
This was the spirit that sparked our independence and sus-
tained us through many difficult struggles on the way to be-
coming a nation. It is also the spirit that has sustained the
Jewish people and brought about the creation of the modern
state of Israel. It is the same spirit that marks the special
friendship of the American and Israeli people and guides us
in our commitment to preserve the independence and security
of both our lands.
American Jews can take satisfaction in their unsurpassed
record of humanitarian concern, civic responsibility and devo-
tion to justice. As individuals and through their organizations,
they have worked tirelessly and unselfishly to live up to the
Faith of their fathers and the aspirations of the Founding
Fathers of our country. With this in mind, Mrs. Ford and I
extend our best wishes for a prosperous, satisfying and happy
New Year.
