Dear friends!

I extend warm greetings to everyone celebrating Rosh Hashanah – the Jewish New Year.
This holiday has always represented renewal, family warmth, and community unity.

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

I want to express my deep gratitude to my friend, the Chief Rabbi of Odesa, Abraham Wolf, for his significant contributions to the Jewish community and for greatly enhancing the development of Odesa and all of Ukraine. His dedication 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 household.
May love and harmony always reign in your homes, and hope fill your hearts.

Shana Tova Umetuka! Happy New Year and new achievements!

Mayor of Odesa Gennady Trukhanov
