Orban marks Jewish New Year

Prime Minister Viktor Orban has wished a "happy and sweet" new year to Hungary's Jewish community, the PM's press chief said on Monday. "Darkness is replaced by light, rain is followed by sunshine and sweet days will come after bitter ones. We are saying good-bye to a year of many ominous clouds and bitterness, but I trust that the sound of the shofar will mark the beginning of times with more happiness," Orban said in his letter marking Rosh Hashanah.
