Happy Labor Day!
Erev Rosh Hashanah, the beginning of the High Holiday season (Rosh HaShanah) starts at sundown on Wednesday, October 2, It's the Jewish New Year 5785
1. My mom taught me to get something new for the New Year. It's the Shabbat of All Shabbats.
2. Did you know that there are at least 5 Names for the Jewish New Year?
- Rosh Hashanah literally means "Head of the Year" because Rosh Hashana marks the point when we begin the new calendar year.
- Yom Harat Olam means "The Birthday of the World."
- Yom Hazikaron means "The Day of Remembering."
- Yom Hadin means "The Day of Judgment."
- Yom Teruah means "The Day of Sounding (the Shofar)." This is the actual name that the holiday is called in the Torah.*
3. We hear the shofar every day– a wake-up call to jostle us, to seriously taking stock of what we’ve done all year and make sure we are worthy of being written into the Book of Life. God sits in judgment, deciding whether or not we have merited to be inscribed in the divine book of life.
Please place your Rosh HaShanah orders by Sept 20 to ensure delivery on time.
