“It is a joint experience for us all that the traditions inherited from our ancestors bring peace, joy and harmony into people’s lives with which not only are they are able to enhance the light of the holiday, but which also give them strength in their daily lives,” the Prime Minister wrote in a letter sent to András Heisler, President of the Federation of Hungarian Jewish Communities (Mazsihisz), Slomó Köves, Chief Rabbi of the Unified Hungarian Israelite Faith Community, Róbert Deutsch, President of the Hungarian Autonomous Orthodox Jewish Community, György Szabó, President of the Foundation for Hungarian Jewish Heritage and Tamás Róna, President of the Jewish Prayer Association of Hungary.
“Please allow me to respectfully greet you and the Hungarian Jewish community on the occasion of Rosh HaShanah. May this new year be just as sweet and round for you as are the honey and apples on your table of celebration. May you all be inscribed for a good year,” Mr Orbán wrote in his letter of celebration.
