“As the Jewish community in Oudtshoorn and around the world prepares to celebrate Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New year, we extend our warmest wishes of Shanah Tovah – a good and sweet year.”
Rosh Hashanah is a time of reflection and renewal when we look back on the year that has passed and pray for peace, health, and blessing in the year ahead. It is marked with traditions such as sounding the shofar, and sharing apples dipped in honey to symbolise hope for sweetness in the coming year.
The Jewish community has long been part of the rich tapestry of Oudtshoorn life, and we remain grateful for the warmth and friendship shown to us here.
On this occasion, we wish all the people of Oudtshoorn a year filled with peace and goodwill.
