Emily Sauerteig’s Rosh Hashanah Message for 2025
Emily Sauerteig shares her thoughts and inspiration for the new year.
I would like to wish you a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year.
The last year has been filled with tragedy and challenges but also proven our resilience and given us reason for hope. With the spread of hatred and antisemitism, Jews across the United States have banded together, returned to Jewish spaces, and in many cases, strengthened Jewish identities, commitment, institutions and communities. In the years ahead, we can envision a Jewish world that is not only better educated but also better connected to their fellow Jews.
Rosh Hashanah is a time of reflection, renewal, and anticipation for the year ahead. At JELF, Rosh Hashanah offers us a fresh start, allowing us to embrace new opportunities and challenges with renewed vigor. May the new year bring a world where the hostages are free and safe, may this year bring an end to fear and suffering, and hate that plagues our world, and give way to a world of peace.
May you and your family be inscribed in the Book of Life for a year filled with health, happiness, and peace. L’Shana Tova.
Emily Sauerteig is the Board Chair for Jewish Educational Loan Fund.
