President Jorge Rafael Videla sent the following Rosh Hashanah message to the DAIA, the representative council of Jews in Argentina: “With real pleasure I wish to express to you and through you to the whole Hebrew community of Argentina the congratulations of the national government on the occasion of the Jewish New Year. At the same time it is for me especially gratifying to stress once more the creative role played by this community within the national life by its participation in the common destiny of our people.”
