Happy New Year, 5788

We join the entire community of Winthrop in wishing our Jewish residents a Happy and Healthy New Year.

The community has concluded the High Holy Days, the two-day celebration of Rosh Hashanah, followed by  the observance of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement and the holiest day  on the Jewish calendar.

Here in Winthrop, Temple Tifereth Israel, under the leadership of President Sandra Pellegrino, continues as a strong and vibrant congregation, offering activities for families and a Hebrew school for children.

It is customary to say  “Shanah Tovah” to our Jewish friends who are celebrating Sukkot this week and Simchat Torah next week.

Best wishes for a happy, joyous, and healthy year in 5788.
