Life for a good year. On Rosh Hashanah, Jews listen to the shofar blown during lengthy prayer services, eat holiday meals, and do no work. After repenting for bad deeds through prayers, they symbolically cast off sins through the tashlich ceremony. Rosh Hashanah is both a solemn and happy day. It is a time for introspection, asking for forgiveness, giving forgiveness, resolving to do better, remembering God is King and Judge, and praying for a healthy and happy year to come. Those observing the Jewish New Year are solemn in their repentance, but happy in their confidence that God is merciful and good. On Rosh Hashanah, Jews walk to flowing water, say a prayer, and symbolically throw their sins into the water. This custom is called Tashlich (casting off). When I was a girl, we used to throw bread into the ocean to "cast off" our sins. One must also ask forgiveness directly from those whom we may have offended or harmed whether knowingly or unknowingly. Happy 5768!

Shana tova to you also; I wish you a happy and healthy year ahead. And I wish you well over the fast next week (yom kipur for those who don't know, the Jewish Day Of Atonement).
Shalom to all!
