Mayor Bloomberg Wishes New Yorkers a Shanah Tovah U'metukah

September 4, 2013

"Over the next two days, New Yorkers of the Jewish faith will come together to celebrate the start of the High Holiday season. Rosh Hashanah, the beginning of the new year, is a special time for many – it's an opportunity to reflect and rejoice, and it gives us hope for what lies ahead. We live in the most open and diverse city in the world, and I wish everyone commemorating the High Holy Days a peaceful and joyous observance. Shanah tovah u'metukah."
