Jewish Year 5767 begins

By admin
yarmulkeRosh Hashanah, commonly known as the Jewish New Year, starts at sunset tonight and continues until nightfall on Sunday.

Popular observances during this holiday include: (1) eating apples dipped in honey, to symbolize the wish for a sweet new year; and (2) walking to flowing water, such as a creek or river, on the afternoon of the first day and emptying one's pockets into the river - a ritual "casting off" of sins.

L'shanah tovah.
