I want this holiday to strengthen the sense of community among citizens and peoples in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which has inherited multi-ethnicity for centuries.
Members of the Jewish community are an inseparable part of the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and we all have an obligation to nurture the tradition of multi-ethnic harmony in our country in the future.
