In a letter issued by the President of the United States, Joe Biden, this evening (Sunday) on the occasion of Rosh Hashanah, he wrote that there is an "iron-knot bond" between the two countries.
"On Rosh Hashanah, Jewish communities around the world are celebrating the birth of the world and the commemoration of the creation of the human race," Biden wrote. "Rosh Hashanah and the terrible days force those who celebrate to stop, look into themselves and reflect on the past year. This is a time when we can explore the soul, do mental arithmetic, and ask ourselves and others questions that cross our personal beliefs: Who do I want to be? What nation are we? Want to forge? What world do we want to create? ".
"This is the message and gift of the Jewish New Year - a reminder of the infinite ability to change our lives and start anew," the American president continued.
"Collaborate with the deity and with our fellow human beings in the unceasing creative process. Build our communities through empathy, acts of kindness and compassion. Seek an answer after a 'decline' in our values. Rosh Hashanah gives further confirmation that we are all endowed, through our Creator and our shared humanity. "The ability to build a bridge that will cover the gap between the world we see and the world we seek."

Biden added: "In this we have made significant progress, but there is still a lot of work to be done. To defend ourselves and each other against a once-in-a-century virus. In rebuilding an economy that provides opportunities for all Americans. "Everywhere and in every way it is distributed. It is time to reaffirm our iron-fisted connection with the State of Israel."
"Who will give and the 5,782 year will be a year of health, recovery and development, and who will let us all land in the book of life. Jill and I wish the warmest congratulations to those who celebrate Rosh Hashanah in the United States, Israel and around the world," the president added.
"Happy New Year, who will give and she will be sweet and healthy. Happy New Year!".
