\tThe Pope expressed his best wishes to the Jewish community for three holy days which are all celebrated in the month of September.<\/p>\n

\tMarking Rosh Hashanah, the New Year; Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement; and Sukkot, the Feast of the Tabernacles, Pope Benedict expressed his desire for \u201cpeace and goodness to the entire Jewish community of Rome.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tHe then prayed that God would provide \u201ccopious blessings for the New Year.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tThe Pope also took the opportunity to encourage growth in the relationship between Jews and Christians, citing the fact that they worship the same God. As Jews and Christians \u201cgrow in mutual respect and friendship,\u201d the Pope said he hopes they will \u201cbear witness in the world to the values that arise from adoration of the One God.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tDi Segni was elected chief rabbi of Rome in 2001 and attended the funeral of Bl. John Paul II. He and Pope Benedict have had meetings on improving interfaith relations.<\/p>\n
