Emmanuel Navon, Israel’s ambassador-designate to Japan, hosted the first morning prayer minyan at the ambassador’s residence since his nomination, invoking the approaching Rosh Hashana holiday.
A moving morning at the Israel Residence: I was honored to host my first minyan since my arrival.
More than ten Jewish men from different countries gathered here in Tokyo, united by a shared tradition and common values.
