“This evening at sundown, Jewish communities across New York City will begin to observe Yom Kippur, one of the holiest days of the Jewish calendar year. On this day of atonement, families and friends will gather to repent, reflect, and commit to approaching the year ahead with renewed hope, purpose, and resolve. I hope all Jewish New Yorkers have an easy and meaningful fast. May we all be sealed in the book of life. G’mar Chatima Tova.”
