“Tonight at sundown, Jewish communities in Canada and around the world will mark the beginning of Rosh Hashanah. Rosh Hashanah is more than the beginning of the year for the Jewish people – it is a time of reflection, renewal, and hope. The past few years have been difficult for the Jewish community in Canada. Our support for the Jewish community is steadfast. On Rosh Hashanah, we recognize the incredible contributions of Jewish Canadians and affirm our commitment to building a country where everyone can freely and safely practise their faith and culture.
