Rosh Hashanah - The Jewish New Year


In Rabbinical Judaism, Rosh Hashanah (literally "the head of the year" ) is celebrated as Jewish New Years Day. The holiday is observed on the frist day of the Hebrew month of Tishri, which usually falls in September or October, and marks the beginning of a ten-day period of prayer, self examination and repentance (aseret yemei teshuvah), which culminates on the fast day of Yom Kippur. These ten days are referred to as Yamim Norai'm, the Days of Awe or the High Holy Days. Rosh Hashanah also remembers the creation of the universe by Adonai.

This year Rosh Hashanah began on Sept 12th in Israel at sundown and runs 10 days. Yom Kippur will be celebrated this Friday after sundown.
Yon Kippur....the Day of Atonement(at one ment with God). "For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it for you on the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that makes atonement by the life." Lev 17v11

Beloved Rhonda & Ed,

You both are such a blessing to me
and to all in BC. I am honoured to
know you and to have communion with
you. What a joy you bring in your
comments to me and to other members.

I will try to give out more things
Jewish as I discover them.

With Great Love,
