Rosh Hashanah



    It was Rosh Hashanah this week which is the Jewish New Year, it is celebrated on 2 days which was Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th. It is believed to be the anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve. Rosh Hashanah is (the day of Judgement) the people are suppose to reflect and commit to be better people. This holiday is followed up by Yom Kippur (day of Atonement) 10 days later and the people have until then to reflect, repent, and become righteous. The wicked will be blotted out of the book of the living forever.

The kids learned at school that you are suppose to eat apples dipped in honey and pomegranates.

Jonathan came home from school with the video about Rosh Hashanah so I included it here...
