Reporter Maayan Hoffman brings two windows onto a single New Year’s theme: Jewish strength expressed through community and service. In Kyiv, pared-down services, mass holiday meals, and a surge of displaced families shape Rosh Hashanah under air-raid alerts and curfews. The message Markovitch wants ringing in the year ahead is unity: Jews and non-Jews helping one another toward something steadier than sirens. The throughline is purpose: keeping faith, keeping routine, and keeping close to those who need a hand. Rosh Hashanah asks us to look forward and inward at once.
