Chag Sameach

October 13, 2019

The setting of the sun will mark the dawn of a joyous celebration amongst our Jewish community, Sukkot. Wishing all who will observe this momentous occasion, a Chag Sameach! 

At sunset, our Jewish friends will observe the holiest day in the Hebrew calendar – Yom Kippur. I wish all who will observe this Day of Atonement an easy fast as you pray, reflect, and repent for past transgressions.
