[quote:Anonymous Coward 14392840:MV8xOTkxNDQzXzMzNDUwNjA2XzQ4OTI2NkM2] Sunset of September 16 through nightfall of September 18 Rosh Hashanah. Shana Tova Umetukah ! By Apollo: Rosh Hashanah the Head of the Year is the Jewish New Year. It is the Zikhron Teruah, the Memorial of the blowing of Trumpets or Feast of Trumpets, Its been observed since BC times but the destruction of the Second Solomons temple in 70 Ad changed its practice to various synagogues and private observance. It is also called Yom Ha Din or Judgement day. Its a time of Repentance and prayer. It starts with the sabbath beofre the new moon. The Shofar (rams horn for Orthodox or antelope for Yemenite ) is blown during the morning prayers. There are different types of Shofar blasts.. Tekiah (a single long trump) Shevarim (three trumps with gaps little in between) Teruah (nine short blows) Tekiah Gedolah (a very long trump played at end of the Ashkenazi prayers ) Shevarim Teruah (3 trumps followed by 9 short blows) On the first night of Rosh Hashanah it is the Ashkenazi and Hasidic tradition to greet each other Leshana Tova Tikoseiv Vesichoseim (Le'Alter LeChaim Tovim U'Leshalom) which means "May you right away be inscribed and sealed for a Good Year and for a superior and undisturbed Life I hope you will enjoy looking into this Jewish Holiday which is also celebrated by dipping apples into Honey. This represents the wishes for a sweet new year and that G-ds wife the Shekinah will look upon us compassionately. I wish you,a wonderful Jewish New Year. Rosh Hashanah 2012 Shana Tova Umetukah ! -Apollo "And the spirit of G-d hovered [above the waters]." Our Sages tell us that this is actually referring to the soul of Moshiach. The Hebrew words in the verse "v'ruach Elokim m'rachefet" have the same numerical value as the words "This is the spirit of Melech HaMoshiach" - zeh haya rucho shel Melech HaMashiach. [/quote]
