The Foreign Secretary sends warm wishes to the Jewish
community as they prepare to celebrate Rosh Hashanah, the
Jewish New Year.
Foreign Secretary said:
As we enter the High Holidays, I wish a happy and
sweet New Year to all Jewish communities in Britain
and around the world.
For our Jewish friends in Israel, this has been a
year of landmarks, including the centenary of the
Balfour Declaration, the 70th Anniversary of Israel’s
statehood, and the first British royal visit, made by
HRH The Duke of Cambridge in June.
This is also a special occasion for the UK’s Jewish
community. At a time when many worry about the
corrosive impact of anti-Semitism, I want to
reiterate our rejection of such ugly intolerance. We
are proud of Britain’s Jewish community, who make
such a positive contribution to all aspects of our
society and to public life. Long may that continue.
So I wish all those celebrating in the UK, and
beyond, Shana Tova and Chatima Tova. Here’s to a
prosperous and healthy year!
