“As Rosh Hashanah begins this evening, I extend my warmest wishes to Alberta’s Jewish community.
“This sacred time of reflection and renewal reminds us of the enduring values of faith, community and compassion. Rosh Hashanah is marked by symbolic meals, prayer services and the sounding of the shofar, which calls believers to reflection and prayer in celebration of the beginning of the Jewish New Year.
“May the coming year be good and sweet!
“L’shanah tovah u’metukah!”
