LA SHANA TOVAH 5,775

LA SHANAH TOVA. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO MY JEWISH READERS. MAY YOU BE INSCRIBED AND SEALED IN THE BOOK OF LIFE.

SAY A PRAYER FOR ALL OF US, THAT WE MAY CONTINUE TO LIVE AND PREVAIL IN THE NEW YEAR. ALSO A PRAYER FOR THE I.D.F. MAY THEY CONTINUE TO WATCH OVER ISRAEL (HASHOMER).

THE FESTIVAL OF ROSH HASHANAH—THE NAME MEANS “HEAD OF THE YEAR”—IS OBSERVED FOR TWO DAYS BEGINNING ON 1 TISHREI, THE FIRST DAY OF THE JEWISH YEAR (AUG24-25, 2014).

IT IS THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE CREATION OF ADAM AND EVE, THE FIRST MAN AND WOMAN, AND THEIR FIRST ACTIONS TOWARD THE REALIZATION OF MANKIND’S ROLE IN GD’S WORLD.  ACCORDING TO JEWISH LAW, IT STARTS THE YEAR 5775.  Israel's official calendar is the Hebrew one. According to Jewish counting, this Wednesday we will be starting Year 5775, that is - the supposed 5775th year since the world was created on Saturday night, October 6, 3761 BCE.
