HOUSTON, Texas – U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, released the following statement in observance of Yom Kippur.
“Tonight, in synagogues across the world, our Jewish friends will spend a day in prayer, fasting, and personal repentance. The prayers of the day, contained in the timeless machzor, describe the power of Atonement and conclude that there are three things which can reverse an evil decree – repentance, prayer, and charity. God promises us that if we repent with sincerity, He will always accept our prayers. Let us take this to heart – by looking inward to correct our past mistakes, by asking for God’s help, and by reaching out to those around us with acts of kindness, may we be inscribed in the Book of Life and may God’s blessings continue to shine upon America, Israel, and our friends around the world. I wish all my Jewish friends a meaningful fast.”

Statement by the President on Yom Kippur
As Jews across America, Israel, and the world gather for the sacred service of Kol Nidre, Michelle and I extend our wishes for an easy fast to all those observing Yom Kippur. The Day of Atonement is a time for humility, reflection and repentance, a chance to be honest with ourselves and one another about our shortcomings. Yet Yom Kippur is also a day of hope. Through our prayers and through our actions, as individuals and as a community, we can better bridge the realities of our world with the ideals and values we share. On this special day, may our common humanity unite us, and may our common faith in a better future inspire us to continue healing our world. G’mar Chatimah Tovah.
“Where is Obama’s statement?”
Will probably hear one about Eid
May God bless America with leaders like Ted Cruz, who live lives of repentance, prayer, and charity.
Isa 43:1-12
I only wish he had used the adjective “peaceful” about 10 times in his proclamation.
For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. (2 John 7-11)
Has Cruz read 2 John? Does he make the Bible authoritative in his life?
This is what the Word of God says.
