Shanah Tovah. Jews around the world celebrate Rosh Hashanah tonight, at a time when the community is experiencing intense pain. 101 hostages remain in Gaza tunnels, nearly a year from the day 97 were taken. Whole nuclear families were murdered in the 7/10 massacres, their loved ones united in grief.

So I take the opportunity to send my love to Jewish friends on here today and to say that I hope you are able to enjoy your new year celebrations, that you are soothed by the memories of those who cannot join you, and my hope that the hostages are returned, alive, soon. X
