Shanah Tova and blessings to all Jewish people of Spain & from wherever you come from.
Yes it's that time again, and what better time of year to have a little read into some of what it is all about, and remind yourselves (those of you who perhaps have forgotten, or lost your way) to remind yourselves of who and what you are, and why . And so, here is a little bit for you to read, and as you know, those of you who are Jewish, reading is the most fundamental part of the practice of Judaism, so at this special time, lets read something about what this time really means to us.

Blessed are the people
who understand the shofar sounds

Baruch atah Adonai Eloheinu Melech Ha'Olam, asher kidishanu b'mitzvotav v'tzivanu leshoma kol shofar.

Hey Angelo
I think you've mixed up a bit..
The Jewish Holiday of Rosh Hashanah is widely known and celebrated as the New Years Day of the Jewish calendar, but actually Rosh Hashanah has a fourfold meaning - It is the Jewish New Year, the Day of Judgement, the Day of Remembrance, and the Day of Shofar Blowing.

It is the Day of Judgement
As Jews worldwide examine their past deeds and asks for forgiveness for their sins especially friends,human being..

It is the Day of Shofar Blowing
As the Shofar (the rams horn)is blown in temple to herald the beginning of the 10 day period known as the High Holy Days

It is the Day of Remembrance
As Jews review the history of their people and pray for Israel

And of course it is New Year's Day
Celebrated with it's holiday greeting cards, special prayers, and festive and sweet foods (to ensure sweetness in the New Year)


Simchat Torah celebrates the completion and renewal of the cycle of Torah (the Bible) readings.

They're totally two different Holidays

Sweet Happy New Year to you

Nava


Age is a matter of mind, if you don't mind it doesn't matter.

NO, there is no mix-up of anything. I Intended to show an excerpt from the simchat, only as it makes good reading, the greetings expressed for the Rosh Hashanah still stand as they are already shown on the thread. I made no attempt to make a connection between the two, one is one thing, and the other is another.
