Jewish New Year message from the First Minister

12 September 2018

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon sends her warmest wishes to Jewish communities who have celebrated Rosh Hashanah and will mark the holy day of Yom Kippur. She said:

I send my warmest greetings to everyone in Scotland’s Jewish communities who have celebrated Rosh Hashanah and will mark the holy day of Yom Kippur. At this time of reflection, I hope the forthcoming year will bring joy and happiness to all.

“The Scottish Government appreciates and values our relationships with our Jewish communities, and I want to thank you all for the significant and important contributions you all make to Scottish society. I have enjoyed meeting with a number of Jewish organisations, including SCoJeC, this past year and I very much look forward to continued positive engagement in the year ahead.

“It is essential that everyone feels connected, has a sense of belonging and feels valued in Scotland and I am proud of the way in which we continue to work together to tackle prejudice and build a more inclusive, safer Scotland.

“On behalf of the Scottish Government and the people of Scotland, I wish you Shanah Tovah!”
