Dear friends,

Greetings on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year, 5786!

May the mighty sound of the shofar drive away all of the bad from the previous year and bring happiness, success and peace. As you sit around the Rosh Hashanah holiday table with family and break the challa bread, I hope and wish you take pride in your identity and traditions, and that you would inculcate the next generation with this feeling.

May smiles and joy follow you at every step.

A calm, peaceful and sweet New Year. Shana tova umetuku!
