LGBTQIA and friendly Jewish Congregations sent their wishes for Rosh Hashanh, the Jewish New Year, which falls this weekend. Referring to the state of global politics at present, the LGBTIA friendly Liberal Judaism Network observes " it can be tempting to allow hope to give way to cynicism, to protect ourselves from bitter disappointment and hurt by pre-deciding that there is little point in working towards anything different. But this is not the Jewish way. Judaism is a religion of liberation. We seek a chance at creating a world where justice rules and through our vulnerability, we are able to not only care for the vulnerable but work towards a time when none are vulnerable and all are equal. May the year ahead be one full of possibility and one where hope, not cynicism, prevails."
