“At the start of Rosh Hashanah, I would like to extend my wishes for a happy and healthy new year to the Jewish community across our state. New Jersey is fortunate to benefit from a vibrant Jewish community that contributes to our cultural diversity through business, academics, service and leadership. The start of these High Holy Days serves as an opportunity to reflect upon the past year with our families, while also looking to the future with a renewed sense of optimism.
