In these challenging days for our country, I wish that the New Jewish Year brings us the light of hope. May we have a year of unity, brotherhood, and security, full of love and joy, cohesion, and mutual assistance.

I dream of the end of the war and the return of all the abducted to their families, as well as the return of all soldiers home in peace. I dream of good days, of how we can once again build, create, and together arrange our country.

And I also dream that in the new year, numerous new repatriates from all over the world will come to Israel, for Aliyah is one of the most important and primary Zionist ideals.

May this be a blessed year, a year of peace and tranquility for the entire people of Israel!

Marina Rozenberg Koritny, Head of the Department for Aliyah Promotion of the World Zionist Organization
