WASHINGTON –  DNC Interim Chair Donna Brazile issued the following statement:

“As Jewish people across the country and around the world prepare to observe the Jewish High Holy Days, the Democratic Party wishes our Jewish brothers and sisters a safe, peaceful, reflective and happy holiday season full of new beginnings. We also pause to celebrate the profound contributions of Jewish Americans to our shared and diverse American society – to our culture, commerce, politics and public life, and we reiterate our party’s commitment to Israel’s peace and security. During the high holidays, let’s reject the politics of hate and division we’ve seen in this election, work towards a brighter future, and build a more prosperous nation for all. Shana tova and tzom kal.”
