Dov Wilker’s Rosh Hashanah Message for 2022
Dov Wilker shares his thoughts and inspiration for the Jewish New Year.
This year, we will be celebrating two incredible milestones – 125th anniversary of the founding of modern Zionism and 75 years of Israel’s existence. Both are miracles and should be seen as such.
As we look at our own Jewish history, in Israel and in the diaspora, we have overcome so many obstacles. Some we are familiar with, and others are lost in our history.
The forgotten Exodus of Jews in the Middle East and North Africa is currently taking center stage. As individuals, they have contributed to the diversity of Israeli society, as well as North America. As a collective, they continue to help us see our own diversity and the opportunities that exist as a result.
My hope for the coming year is that we will learn more about the diversity of Zionism, diversity of our Jewish history and share it with our peer groups and beyond.
Am Israel Chai!
Dov Wilker is the SE regional director for the American Jewish Committee.
