Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year) will be marked from Wednesday 2 October, 2024 – Friday 4 October, 2024.
President Zelenskyy wrote: “Shanah Tovah to Jewish communities across Ukraine and around the world as they mark #RoshHashanah.
This year’s celebration, like previous years, is marked by war and hardship for Jews in Ukraine and other countries where aggression and terror threaten normal life.

Shana tova u-metuka!”
