Gayle Rubenstein's Rosh Hashanah Message for 2025

If I could send a message to people of Israel:

We cannot truly grasp the uncertainty of life in Israel as it was before October 7, 2023. Our hearts ache for the families whose beloved children, grandchildren, parents, siblings, and friends were taken or killed on October 7th, we share in your grief and pray for peace. Your resilience inspires us, and together we find strength and hope, and the Jewish nation will rise and rebuild. The memories of those lost will forever be a blessing. and the strength of our survivors will carry us forward with love and solidarity.

Am Yisrael Chai the spirit of Israel shines bright!

If I could send this message to Hamas:

Violence is not power, and human life is not negotiable. The only way to be heard is through peace, not terror. True strength comes through humanity and compassion, not cruelty. Release the 48 hostages Immediately!

Chag Sameach. May Shalom fill our lives and our world with fullness in our heart.
