“As Rosh Hashanah begins, I want to extend my warmest wishes to the Jewish community across Alberta.
“Marking the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah is a sacred time of reflection, renewal and hope. It is also a time to embrace the values of forgiveness, compassion and gratitude, which strengthen communities and bring people together. Deeply rooted in faith and passed down through generations, these principles resonate across cultures and remind us of the shared values that help keep Alberta strong and welcoming.
“Jewish Albertans have made countless lasting contributions to our province’s communities, economy and cultural heritage. Their leadership, volunteerism and commitment to helping their neighbours continue to move Alberta forward and make our province a better place to call home.
“As families and friends gather to observe cherished traditions, enjoy festive meals together and celebrate the New Year, I wish everyone celebrating a blessed Rosh Hashanah and a year filled with peace, good health and happiness.”
