Melania and I send our warmest greetings to all Jewish people on Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish faith.
Yom Kippur is a day of atonement, prayer, and fasting, and is the last day of the Ten Days of Repentance. Yom Kippur provides an opportunity to draw nearer to G-d through the practice of teshuva (repentance) in accordance with the words of Leviticus: “For on this day shall atonement be made for you, to cleanse you; from all your sins shall ye be clean before the Lord.”
Melania and I pray that you are all inscribed in the Book of Life and hope this period of reflection and repentance leads to a deeper relationship with God. We send our best wishes for a meaningful Yom Kippur and a Gmar Chatima Tova.

Did Obama ever do this?
Moderators Note: Every single year. Here is one example: https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2015/09/22/statement-president-yom-kippur
Thank you Mr. president for doing so much for Jewish People in the past year: Canceling Iran nukes deal, relenting Rubashking from unjust and brutal imprisonment, moving US Embassy to Yerushalaim, defunding terrorist PLO organization and shutting their office in Washington.
