Pinal County Greens Pass Resolution Wishing Arizona Residents a Happy Simchat Torah


Apache Junction, Ariz. & New York, N.Y., Oct. 20 -

The Pinal County Greens tonight passed a resolution wishing all Arizonans a happy and joyful Simchat Torah.

In New York's Zuccotti Park to show support for the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations, Pinal County Greens Co-Chair Richard Grayson said, "Simchat Torah is a holiday of rejoicing with the Torah, when Jews end the yearly cycle of reading the Torah and begin anew. It's appropriate that across Arizona and here with Occupy Wall Street and the other Occupy movements around the country, we celebrate our own and our nation's renewal."

The Pinal County Greens are members of the Arizona Green Party in the nation's second-fastest-growing county.
