As Yom Kippur, the holiest and most solemn day on the Jewish Calendar, approaches, our hearts are filled with remembrance and pain from the year that passed and the terrible events that took place during these last twelve months, and of course our hearts and minds will be with all of the families of the hostages and those who lost loved ones this year. At the same time as we begin this holy day, we are filled with faith and positivity as we hope and pray for better times for the year ahead and are inspire ourselves with the determination to help make that happen.
In these final hours before the Day of Atonement we share our collective prayer and hope, that the coming days, weeks and months, bring the blessings of peace and unity to the world, and especially to Israel. May we see the return of the hostages to their loved ones, and an end to the tragedy of war.
May our year be filled with the blessings of health, happiness, meaning and growth, and may you and your family be inscribed in the Book of Life for goodness, kindness, health & prosperity.
If you don't yet have plans for Yom Kippur, please do join us, as this year more than ever, it is so important for us to be together.
