Statement by Minister Joly on Yom Kippur
/EINPresswire.com/ -- OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Oct 11, 2016) -
Today at sundown marks the beginning of Yom Kippur-the Day of Atonement-the holiest day on the Jewish calendar.
The culmination of the Ten Days of Awe, Yom Kippur is a time of repentance, reconciliation and making amends in order to begin the new year with a clean slate. Across Canada and throughout the world, it is observed through fasting and prayer.
As Jewish Canadians gather today, filling synagogues across the country, I invite all of us to take stock of our actions and to seek peace and reconciliation.
As Minister of Canadian Heritage, I extend my warmest wishes to the Jewish community on this sacred day.
Gmar Chatima Tova.
