As Northeast Ohio marks the solemn observance of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, the most Holy Days of the year for the Jewish community here and around the world, I join my cordial greeting with that of the clergy, religious and faithful of the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland and wish our Jewish brothers and sisters a year filled with good health and great peace.
May our mutual dialogue, respect and friendship grow ever stronger as we work together to promote peace and justice. And may the Eternal One bless and enlighten our communities and our cooperation, so that together we can be fruitful in carrying out his plans in our world.
May the Almighty hear our prayers for a new year filled with health and the blessings of peace and atonement.
Shanah Tovah, a good year to all!
