 Hello everyone, bonjour à tous, chag-sa-mère. Tonight at Sunset, Jewish communities in Canada and around the world will celebrate Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. Rosh Hashanah is the beginning of the high holidays culminating in Yom Kippur. Normally, it's a time for families and loved ones to reflect on the past year and come together to pray, share meals, and their hopes for the future. This year, we may not be able to celebrate in person, but we'll continue to dip apples and honey and pray for a sweet and healthy New Year for our friends and family and for all Canadians. And as you take part in celebrations over the next few days, please follow official health guidelines to celebrate responsibly, maintain physical distance from others, and wash your hands frequently. While the last months have been very difficult with COVID-19, let's look at optimism, the new year to come. And as Jewish communities have been doing since the beginning of the pandemic, continue to close our eyes. May you support a local organism, or may you be present for your neighbors and our essential workers. You have helped our fellow citizens. Since the beginning of the pandemic, you've shown us the best of what it means to serve your community. And today is a chance for all of us to celebrate the many contributions of Jewish Canadians. It's also a time to recommit to fighting anti-Semitism, hatred, and discrimination in all their forms. We will always stand with the Jewish community and stand united against hate. And together, we will make our world a better one. Know that our government will always be by your side and will do everything in its power to act against anti-Semitism, hatred, and discrimination in all its forms. Together, we will build a more inclusive Canada. On behalf of our family, Sophie and I wish you a healthy, peaceful, and prosperous New Year. Shana Tova, Omeduka.
