Rosh Hashana Message From Aziza Hasan - Wishing Everyone Shana Tova! - NewGround: A Muslim-Jewish Partnership for Change

Rosh Hashana Message From Aziza Hasan – Wishing Everyone Shana Tova!

Rosh Hashana Message From Aziza Hasan – Wishing Everyone Shana Tova!

Each year, the Pico Union Project offers Jewels of Elul, an annual series of short reflections from many authors around a specific theme. This year’s theme was “If Not Now, When?” Our executive director Aziza Hasan submitted the following piece, To Bear Witness. During these Holy Days, as you are remembering back through this past year, we invite you to reflect on the questions that Aziza poses to herself, and to us:

 

“When will we stop looking the other way when people are suffering?

When will we go back to our pain and face it directly?

How can we find a way to grieve together?

To bear witness and hold one another.

That time is now. If not now, when?”

 

Wishing you a Shana Tova,

A year of turning together toward something better,

From all of us at NewGround.
