THE JEWISH WEEK ON ROSH HASHANAH 5770
“It is impossible to convey in words the essential meaning of Rosh Hashannah and Yom Kippur because their essential meaning is ultimately experiential.

If you are going to found a society – and let’s face it, that is the whole of point of the Jewish People because we do not exist randomly in the world, we exist for a reason, we have a purpose in the world – it must be founded on social justice…” To read the full quote, please click the image above.
