Dear friends, Before we know it, at sundown on September 6, we will begin the High Holiday season. Some will say that the holidays are “early” this year. They are never early. The holidays are the same day every year—Rosh Hashanah always begins on the first of Tishrei. It only seems to be early because of the secular calendar. Whether the holiday is “early” or “late,” its arrival reminds us of the passage of time and brings with it a chance to examine our lives and think about the year ahead. At JFGT, we can look back on another successful year of dedicated efforts to our mission of providing programs and services that enhance the health, welfare, education, and cultural awareness of the entire Jewish community and Israel. We can pursue these efforts only because of your steadfast support and participation. No one knows what the future holds for any of us. There are potential bumps in the road that lies ahead, but we are traveling the road together and that makes all the difference. On behalf of the Jewish Federation of Greater Toledo, its Executive Officers, Board of Directors, and all of our dedicated staff, we wish everyone a sweet New Year filled with good health, happiness, prosperity, and peace. Laurie Gross, President
Stephen Rothschild, Executive Director
