A Rosh Hashanah message from Luke Foley
The Leader of the Opposition in NSW sends a Rosh Hashanah message to J-Wire readers…
Luke Foley
It is my pleasure to send my warmest wishes to the NSW Jewish community on the occasion of Rosh Hashanah.
At this time, it is tradition to reflect on the year just passed and the year ahead of us – providing us with the humbling opportunity to look towards those parts of the world that do not enjoy the great life that we do, here and now.
The Jewish community has been a deeply valued part of New South Wales’ rich multicultural society since the first days of European settlement, and has made an enormous contribution to every aspect of our society.
As Opposition Leader, it has been my honour to work with our state’s Jewish community and to experience first-hand your customs, your warmth and your generosity of spirit.
So both personally and on behalf of NSW Labor, I would like to wish you all Shana Tovah.
It is my hope that Jewish communities everywhere will enjoy the blessings of peace, prosperity and security in the coming year.
