5776 SHANAH TOVAH

Shanah Tovah

This comes directly from the chabad.org website:

The Jewish new year is not just a time to renew our resolve to lose another fifteen pounds. Rather, it’s the time when our fate stands in the balance as G‑d reviews our past year and decides whether or not to renew our lease on His planet. As such, Jewish greetings for this time of year (the Jewish New Year is in the fall) reflect our prayers for a good, sweet year up ahead.  The catch-all greeting you can use for the entire season is “Shanah tovah” (שנה טובה), which means “Good year.” The word “u’metuka” (ומתוקה), and sweet, is sometimes appended to the end.

Yesterday was the first day of the Jewish New Year (the Rosh Hashanah Holiday actually started on Sunday night at sundown.   

• Mon, 14 September 2015 = 1st of Tishrei, 5776

Our family went to Shul (Synagogue) in the morning for services and we returned home to have a Rosh Hashanah Holiday dinner.   There are many Jews (for example, me) that celebrate only the first day of Rosh Hashanah although it is a two-day Holiday.   I would like to wish all readers of my blog -Shanah Tovah.
