Dear friends!

Warm greetings to everyone celebrating Rosh Hashanah – the Jewish New Year.
This holiday has long symbolized renewal, family warmth, and community unity.

Odesa has always taken pride in its multiculturalism and cultural diversity. The Jewish community is an integral part of our city, its history, and its present. Together, we face challenges and work towards peace and a brighter future.

I would like to express my deep gratitude to my friend, the Chief Rabbi of Odesa, Abraham Wolf, who does so much for the Jewish community and significantly contributes to the development of Odesa and all of Ukraine. His dedication, tireless work, and constant care for children, families, and the elderly inspire us all.

I wish that the new year brings health, prosperity, and faith in goodness to every family.
May love and harmony always prevail in your homes, and may hope reside in your hearts.

Shana Tova Umetuka! Happy New Year and new achievements!

Mayor of Odesa Gennady Trukhanov
