John,

Tonight begins Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. A solemn 25 hour period of fasting and repentance, Yom Kippur highlights the themes of introspection, self-improvement, and making amends with others. In that spirit, let us strive to act with greater comity to all. 

Erin and I wish all our friends in the Jewish Community an easy and meaningful fast.

G'mar Chatima Tova.
Sincerely,
