The Jewish Magazine, the biggest Jewish media in the US, published an article “Muslim President: “Shana Tova”” by Rob Eshman. The letter is about President Ilham Aliyev`s congratulatory message to the Jewish community of Azerbaijan on the Rosh Hashanah holiday (Jewish New Year)

The author indicates that other Muslim rulers never wished their Jews a happy holiday.

Azerbaijan is a small nation with a history of tolerance and an active engagement with Israel and world Jewry

To prove it, the article says the Jewish Journal’s contributor Gabriel Lerner traveled to Azerbaijan in 2008 and reported on a country where coexistence is a centuries-old value. Azerbaijan’s Jewry is interwoven into the fabric of this state. And despite their minuscule numbers—maybe 12,000 in a population of 8 million—their presence is known and acknowledged.
