Rosh Hashanah
 

Tonight, September 8th, is the beginning of Rosh Hashanah, which I am told is the beginning of the Jewish New Year. Any Jewish folks want to share what you and your families do during this season? I know the basics, but I am curious to get the personal aspect.

I'm vaguely partly Jewish and am pretty much the only one in my immediate family to acknowledge that, so it's been low-key hereabouts. The local chabad sent me a facebook invite for a Rosh Hashana dinner but I never got around to clicking that I wasn't going.

The holiday features a lot of honey and I'm allergic to honey anyway.



L'shana tovah.

I got to skip one of my classes this afternoon because of my Israeli teacher, so yeah. I'm celebrating by eating a ham sandwich.

I'm ethnically Jewish, but my family has never been very observant. Meh.

Jewish chicks are hot

I thought Rosh Hashanah was rush limbaugh and hanana montanas kid :O :O

Oh, the disappointment on that kid's face when mom busts out the happy birthday dinnerware, only to fill it with hummus.

The first time I had ever heard this word before was on colbert on monday.

Shit, me too. Miley Cyrus is an very unnatractive young lady.

Miley Cyrus appears to be a very stupid and/or unpolished young lady and that makes it even worse.

For most people I think Rosh Hashanah is just one of those exotic sounding holidays you see in passing on a calendar every once in a while.

i thought it was the day everyone was supposed to listen to sha-na-na

Oh, well. So much for getting stories. I guess in hindsight I should have looked elsewhere. Thanks for the chuckles anyway gang.

i-mock is the second-largest jewish community on the internet, I'm as surprised as you are

I'm Jewish?

Who knew? :shocked

WE ALL HAVE A LITTLE BITCH OF ISRAEL IN US

I MEANT BIT I DONT KNOW HOW IT CAME OUT LIKE THAT :(

One of my great-aunts converted to a fairly orthodox group for her husband and is notorious for serving her famous ham salad at the reception following her conversion ceremony.

That's about all I've got.

One of my Jewish friends is celebrating Rosh Hashanah this Friday night and having us over for dinner. I'm sure I'll have some matzoh ball soup or something, but she's also making me chicken fingers since I'm a picky eater. :picklehat

Will they be using electricity? :O

Not if they want me to attend. >:

:lol @at you getting special chicken fingers

I've never even seen a Jew.

it's more like apples and bread and honey than matzoh.

In person.
