Holiday Greetings
To One and All: On this erev Rosh Hashonnah [the eve, or beginning, of the Jewish New Year 5789] I wish you all to be written in The Book Of Life for a good year. In the words of the "Shehechiyanu" [prayer said on the first evening of each holiday], we thank God for having kept us and preserved us and allowing us to reach this season again. It is traditional at the end of the holiday dinner to eat pieces of apple dipped in honey, to start the new year with sweetness. Ron
Thank you Ron & a Happy New Year to you! Other than the honey dipped apple are there other foods that are traditional for the celebration? I will glady end & start every year with sweetness! ~Lyn~
Ron, Happy New Year to you Ron (and everyone else too!)! Can you tell this uneducated protestant more about the celebration? --Thanks! sue h
