Rosh Hashanah is a Jewish Holiday commonly known as the Jewish New Year. It begins at sundown tonight, September 28th and is celebrated through Friday, September 30th. It marks the beginning of the Ten Days of Repentance, which finish at the end of Yom Kippur, Saturday October 8th at sunset. Generally, Rosh Hashanah is a time of renewal, a time for admitting our mistakes and asking for forgiveness. It is a time of self-examination, new resolutions, and earnest efforts at correcting our faults. With this in mind, the Jewish holidays are a holiday that everyone can relate to and reminds us that we all share a common past, present and future and we can reflect on how we can make all of our lives happier and more productive.

A sweet year to all!!
