Rosh Hashanah, the celebration of the Jewish New Year, begins this evening at sundown and continues through nightfall on Tuesday. It is the birthday of the universe, the day God created Adam and Eve, and it’s celebrated as the head of the Jewish year, and a day of judgment and coronation of God as king.
Being a non-Jewish person, many of the little traditions which make up this day have held very little significance to me personally. But as I learn more I am finding, as with all things, that looking beneath the surface reveals the deeper concepts of what continually makes the universe beautiful and new.
It's pretty much an open thread kind of day, so discuss whatever comes to mind. And of course we will be following pbird's journey across the state of Oregon today as she inches closer to home.
L’shana tovah u’metukah
(Best wishes for a good and sweet year)
