Letter from the WCC General Secretary for Jewish New Year/Rosh Hashanah 2023

On behalf of the World Council of Churches, I am delighted to send warm greetings to our Jewish friends and colleagues, and indeed to Jewish communities around the world, as you celebrate Rosh HaShanah/Jewish New Year.

This is an important moment in your calendar, the starting point for the High Holidays.

Rosh HaShana is, in some rabbinic traditions, interpreted as the anniversary of the creation of humanity. May these be days of renewal that engender joy, peace, and hope.

 

Best wishes,

Rev. Prof. Dr Jerry Pillay

General Secretary
