From: New York Governor Kathy Hochul"Tonight, families across New York and around the world will gather to celebrate the first night of Rosh Hashana. By dipping apples in honey, hearing the blasts of the shofar, and by engaging in prayer and reflection, Jewish communities will continue the traditions passed on through generations to take stock of the year that's passed and welcome the new year. As Governor of the state with the largest Jewish population anywhere outside Israel, it is my sincere wish to all who celebrate that the year 5783 is filled with community, joy, sweetness and prosperity. Shana Tova U'Metukah — may you have a sweet and happy new year!"
