President Cyril Ramaphosa has wished the Jewish community well on the first day of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.
The holy period between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is a time of introspection and of reaching out to others.
“This holiday is an opportunity to reflect on the year that has passed, and to commit ourselves to treat others with kindness and integrity in the year ahead,” President Ramaphosa said.
“May this be a good and sweet year for the Jewish community, and for all South Africans.”
