Rosh Hashanah: Celebrate the Jewish New Year

As we welcome the Jewish New Year, we offer warm wishes for a meaningful Rosh Hashanah. This season of reflection and renewal reminds us of the opportunity for healing and strengthening stability for ourselves, our families, and those in our community in the year ahead.

At JFCS East Bay, we connect individuals and families with the resources and support needed to build new lives. Whether by helping newcomers resettle into new homes, providing legal services to immigrants, offering companionship and stability for older adults, or ensuring mental health services are accessible to children, youth, and families, we are committed to pursuing justice and creating a world where everyone can flourish with dignity.

As the shofar calls us to reflect, we look back with gratitude for all the ways that our community has thrived over the past year, amidst many challenges. Looking forward, we remain dedicated to cultivating compassionate and hope. May the sweetness of the new year inspire us all in the work of healing and growth.

L’Shanah Tovah u’Metukah — Best wishes for a good and sweet new year to all.
