“Guyana is a beautiful and rich land. It is a land of milk and honey. We have our own Garden of Eden and Land of Canaan. We share beautiful sunshine and wonderful showers of rain. We can see stars shining abundantly above and powerful glittering rivers below. We must all give thanks and appreciate life and what the Creator has given us.
We must use this important time and opportunity in life to imitate the Almighty’s kindness, mercy and love. The spring season brings cleansing and new life in nature. May this New Year and season clean and make new our minds and hearts. Let us all work together as a common humanity to create a happy, prosperous and peaceful Guyana. We owe it to our children. On behalf of the entire Hebrew Israelite community happy New Year!!”
