Congressman Carson's Statement on Rosh Hashanah

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman André Carson today released the following statement on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.

This weekend, my Jewish friends in the great Hoosier state and throughout the world begin their celebration of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. For well over 5,000 years, Jewish communities have used this time of year to celebrate their proud history and rich, time-honored traditions. I encourage Hoosiers, and all peoples of faith, to join me this week in celebrating our nation's unique and proud history of religious freedom.

And to all those celebrating Rosh Hashanah this Sunday: L'Shanah Tova.
