DNC Chair Tom Perez released the following statement on Yom Kippur:

“The Democratic Party wishes an easy, meaningful, and reflective fast to Jewish communities in America, Israel, and around the world. Yom Kippur is a chance not only to forgive and seek forgiveness for past mistakes, but also to come together to forge a better future for ourselves and our communities. On this day of atonement and renewal, let us continue the vital work of tikkun olam. Let us strengthen the historic bonds between Jewish Americans and the Democratic Party. And let us put our shared values into action every day. G'mar Chatimah Tovah.”
