eight jewish american heritage
month celebration at the white
house.
[cheering]
tonight we have come together to heritage
and honor
our culture.
to reflect on the invaluable
contributions of our ancestors
y today.
but it is also a challenging
time for our community.
it's been a dark and difficult
a lot of us are feeling alone
afraid and in.
there is an epidemic of hate
including a crisis of
anti-semitism and our country
and aroundorld.
we see it on our streets our
college campuses and our places
of worship.
i know it is difficult to get
help and to feel optimistic
right now.
and to be honest some days it is
really challenging for me too
put myself out here and do this
work publicly.
and i know it is hard for you
we keep fighting because we have
no choice
