     My heartfelt greetings to all who are observing Yom Kippur 
this year.

     While virtually all religions maintain some means by which 
an individual can seek forgiveness for sins, Judaism 
distinguishes itself through the celebration of Yom Kippur, the 
Day of Atonement.  This holy day gives people a chance to make 
amends for their transgressions and to enter the next year with a 
clean conscience and a clear purpose.

     The Bible teaches us that true repentance comes only from a 
change of heart that affects our relationships with our families 
and friends.  Yom Kippur is a chance to seek pardon from those 
whom we have wronged and to ask divine guidance for self-
improvement.

     Yom Kippur is also significant because it gives people a 
chance to honor the memories of loved ones no longer living, but 
still remembered.  Above all, Yom Kippur recognizes the need to 
repair personal relationships -- relationships with friends and 
family, with God, and with those who live on in our memories.

     This day, with its ritual of the fast, reminds all of us to 
reflect on the many ways we can improve ourselves and our 
relationships with others.  My thoughts are with you as you 
observe this most solemn day.

                               ###
