William H. Frist said "the Jewish new year, Rosh Hashanah, is one of the holiest days of the year in the Jewish faith. For the Jewish people, Rosh Hashanah marks the anniversary of the creation of the world. It is a day for contemplation and prayer--and, indeed, we just opened our proceedings today with prayer--to look forward to the year ahead and to reflect on past deeds and to ask for God's forgiveness. So as so many prepare to celebrate their holy day, I think we should all take that opportunity to reflect on what this holiday represents to all of us, something we do every day and in a global sense, as we look at humanity broadly." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
