The Prime Minister has sent greetings to the Jewish community on the occasion of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.

He said his thoughts would be with British Jews as they pray for peace and prosperity across the world.

“Friends, as we approach Rosh Hashanah I wanted to take the opportunity to wish you a good and sweet year.

“My admiration for the British Jewish community is boundless and as you gather in homes and synagogues across the country, our thoughts are with you all and we pray for a year of peace and prosperity for all the world.

“As the shofar awakens you to reflect upon your lives, so too may it call on all of us to think about how we can be better servants of our communities. My warm best wishes extend to your family and friends. Ketiva ve-chatima tovah.”
