# President Cyril Ramaphosa has wished the Jewish community in South Africa and around the world a peaceful, safe, and joyous Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. As the Jewish community enters the period of the high holy days, South Africans are reminded of the abiding value in faith and family. The President says in Jewish tradition, Rosh Hashanah is a time for renewal and reflection, and carries a profound and timeless message about the power to bring about change – not only in their own lives, but in the lives of those around them.
