Dear ,
 

As the High Holidays approach, we are called not only to prayer and reflection, but to renewal, gratitude, and unity. This sacred season reminds us of the strength and resilience that have carried Am Yisrael, the Jewish people, from generation to generation.

As we enter 5786, we give thanks for our community and for the steadfast friends and allies of other faiths who walk beside us. Your solidarity reflects the very spirit of tikvah (hope) and or (light) that Rosh Hashanah brings to the world.

These days invite us to pause, honor those who came before us, and reaffirm our commitment to those who will follow. This eternal chain of l’dor v’dor, from generation to generation, is at the heart of the Jewish Future Promise.

Already, more than 132,000 Promisers and 36,000 Jewish Youth Promisers have taken part in this sacred responsibility, sparking family conversations about legacy, tzedakah, and the values we hold most dear. If you have not yet joined, we warmly invite you to make your Promise today.

To help you welcome the new year, we are also sharing a Rosh Hashanah home celebration guide from the Jewish Grandparents Network, filled with blessings and traditions to enrich your table.

May 5786 be a year of sweetness, health, and peace. May we all be written and sealed for blessing, and may we find strength together in unity, gratitude, and hope.

L’Shalom and Shanah Tovah U’Metukah,

Mike Leven, Hadara Ishak, and Josh Schalk
