Let the Shofar resonate for forgiveness, healing, and peace in these turbulent times,” wrote Pillay. May the New Year 5785 be the beginning of a blessed, just, and peaceful time for humanity.”

Pillay expressed appreciation to the WCCs Jewish partners, recognizing the significance of the ongoing, meaningful dialogue that the WCC continues to foster with the International Jewish Committee for Interreligious Consultations. 

This dialogue serves not merely as a channel for mutual understanding, but as a blessed conduit through which we pursue the peace that is essential for humanity,” wrote Pillay. As we stand on the threshold of a new year, may this journey deepen, shaping a future grounded in compassion and peace.”
