Rome, Italy, Sep 20, 2007 / 08:59 am
Pope Benedict XVI has sent “most cordial and sincere best wishes” to the Chief Rabbi of Rome, Riccardo Di Segni, on the occasion of the Jewish feasts of Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur and Sukkot, which are celebrated in the month of September.
"These festivities," the Holy Father wrote, "can be occasions for many blessings from the Eternal and a source of immense joy, so that the will to promote the peace that the world so greatly needs will grow within each one of us. May God in his goodness protect your community and grant that the friendship between us deepen, in this city of Rome and everywhere."
