On 20 September, World Council of Churches (WCC) general secretary Rev. Dr Olav Fykse Tveit sent greetings to the WCC’s Jewish partners for Rosh Ha-Shanah and the High Holy Days.
“This ‘New Year’ falls at a difficult time, when assumptions that have governed life in significant parts of our world for a generation or more have, during the last year or so, suddenly been called into question,” Tveit wrote.
