Rosh Hashanah

Happy New Year!

Or.... it's Rosh Hashanah so happy Jewish New Year (at Sundown)!

Handsome is Jewish, I am a Catholic contemplating conversion to Judaism so learning about the high holidays is exceptionally intriguing to me.  One of the things I love most about Judaism is the openness they celebrate their holidays with.  Though it's a Jewish holiday, the focus is on not just people of that faith but people all around the world to make our lives more fulfilling, happier and more productive.

While there is a sense of renewal about celebrating any New Year- it's that promise of a new beginning and the hope that the change you hope to see in the world or yourself becomes the light of your focus.... at least for one day. 

There is a great article here that speaks about Rosh Hashanah in a much more articulate and educated manner.
