For everyone celebrating the High Holidays (Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur) October 3rd to October 13th, a very happy and healthy New Year. For everyone -- not just those celebrating the New Year -- a year full of peace, tranquility, health, and happiness without conflict or hurricanes. Judith

To Marcie, according to my friend who we had dinner with last night, next week I think he said tuesday is Jewish New Year (sometimes referred to as High Holiday) with all due respect to anyone Jewish here, I hope I got it right.

Marcie, it's the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, that begins the evening of Oct. 3 for all of our members and friends who observe the Jewish traditions. It runs for a 10 day period, ending with the Yom Kippur Day of Atonement on Oct. 13. I echo Mrs. Moose - if it's an incorrect explanation, please educate us by correcting this summary.
Enjoy a happy New Year, Judith and others, and have an easy fast on Yom Kippur. Cheers, Anne

Thanks Anne! Of course I knew Yom Kippur was coming up, I should have figured that one out myself. I apologize for offending anyone with my ignorance. Anne, with you brains and my (well I can't think of anything?) we'll go far! Thanks for the explanation.
A very Happy New Year!
Marcie

Oy Vey! Rosh Hashana is the New Year which is two days. Starts the 10 days of awe - a time of introspection. Yom Kippur is the day of atonement and is very holy.
