CHICAGO - Governor Pat Quinn today issued the following statement on Rosh Hashanah:

"I extend my warm wishes for a sweet new year to the Jewish community in Illinois, and throughout the world, as we welcome the beginning of Rosh Hashanah.

"Rosh Hashanah marks the start of the Jewish High Holy Days, when the Jewish community reflects on the past and renews their commitment to the future. During this time of reflection, we honor and celebrate all faiths as well as their rich contributions to our shared Illinois.

"On behalf of the people of Illinois, I wish all a happy and healthy new year. L`Shanah Tovah!"
