Reminding the King: A Rosh Hashana Teaching with Shmuel Junger

Dear Friends,

After an overwhelming year, we find ourselves again at Rosh Hashanah. As Iran is launching missiles and our soldiers fight in Lebanon, it is vital to call on the King.   Please join me as I explain the traditions and intricacies of Rosh Hashana.

I pray we will have a good and sweet new year and see the redemption soon.

Chag Sameach,

Shmuel Junger
CFOIC Director, Israel Office


Bless a family for the Sukkot holiday!
