We are shocked by the attack on Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on Yom Kippur, and our thoughts are with the family and friends of the two victims, Melvin Cravitz and Adrian Daulby, as well as the injured. Shocked, but not surprised.

The #JewishNewYear starts this evening, with its opening holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, both days focused on reflection and introspection, and Succot to follow. To you, your families and your friends: #ShanaTova – a happy, healthy and hopefully, a peaceful new year - from JPR. 🍎🍯

#MakingHeadlines The desire to find a 'silver bullet' experience that will forge #JewishIdentity is an understandable ambition. However, as our new landmark study reveals, it is the cumulative effects of multiple experiences working together as part of a larger ecosystem that genuinely matter.
