Is everyone aware that at sundown this evening Rosh Hashana begins?

1 Tishri 5770 starts sundown Friday.

L'shana Tova Tikatevu! May you be inscribed for a good year!!

Actually, it begins on Friday evening, 18 Sep. Tonight and Tomorrow is known as Erev Rosh HaShanah, eve of RH. We are all a little eager.

Yes, I have the Islamic, Christian, and some other major religious holidays on my Outlook calendar as well.

Hey, it was Friday over here already when you posted- so you were right! LOL

One correction to your site- the repentance and going to peopel you have wronged starts the month before Rosh Hashanah- in the entire month of Elul we blow the shofar at the end of the morning service as a reminder to do teshuvah (repentance). At the end of the Shabbos before Rosh Hashanah (i there will be at least four days- otherwise we start on the Thursday night before that), at just after midnight, we start saying slichot- a special set of prayers asking for forgiveness. After that first night, slichot are said in the mornings as part of the morning prayers until Rosh Hashanah.

Yes, I was. I have a couple of Jewish friends. I have already gifted them some pomegranates. Did that this morning in a nice basket with a big bow on it and a few other goodies tucked in there as well.

It's good to make friends with Nordic Heathens. Once we're your friend, we're very considerate and exceptionally loyal. ☺

Edit: Well, I knew it was soon, which is why I gave gifts already! I also know pomegranates are significant for some reason, so I made sure those were the star of the gift basket. I like finding excuses to make my friends gifts. ☺

No, I am not Jewish; I am a Christian and only celebrate Christian and some secular holidays.

Why would the Jews have a New Year different from the rest of the world ? January 01 starts the actual New Year. If you don't believe me, check with the National Bureau of Standards in the USA.

Peace and progress in God's Spirit and in Jesus' Truth !

St James says it is when And the sons of Benjamin were Belah and Becher and Ashbel Gera andNaaman Ehi and Rosh Muppim and Huppim and Ard. This is went Rachel children born to Jacob the ownly time menund in Genesis 46;21 He enter into Egypt.

L'shana Tova Tikatevu chaverim!

May you be inscribed for a good year!!

Is Rosh Hashanah as good as Purple Cush?

yom taruah, my friend. day of trumpets. the day no man knows not the son nor the angels, only the father. armageddon will end on this day. sure as the crucifixion coincided with passover.

mid year, according to god. they changed it during the babylonian captivity.

don't buy in to the man made changes. we're not authorised. the talmud is not inspired, neither is the catechism, watchtower, d&c etc. all these seek to add to an already complete word.

Yes.....definitely..... :-)
