Happy Jewish New Year!

Happy New Year! Well, if you're Jewish, anyways. :) Yom Teruah, the Day of the Awakening Shofar Blasts, also known as Rosh haShana, is celebrated tonight at the beginning of a new day (Hebrew days begin and end at sun down, rather than midnight). Some Jews, following the Hillel calendar, celebrated it Friday, others, myself included, celebrate tonight. :cool: A couple interesting facts about Yom Teruah and its ceremony: - Yom = "Day", Teruah = "blast/loud sound" - also known as Rosh haShana, a name which was borrowed from Babylon during Israel's captivity some 500 years BCE. - the name Rosh haShana means "Head of the Year" in Hebrew. - despite being called the "Jewish New Year", it actually occurs in the 7th month of our year! :-O (another tradition borrowed from Babylon) - On Yom Teruah, we are commanded[^] to sound a blast on the shofar[^] (a ram's horn) - Shofar blasts are also sounded to alert the nation of war, or to celebrate a victory - During the Ottoman and the British occupation of Jerusalem, Jews were not allowed to sound the shofar at the Western Wall. After the Six Day War, Rabbi Shlomo Goren famously approached the wall and sounded the shofar. - According to Jewish tradition and Christian Scripture, the shofar blast will herald the coming of the Messiah/Christ. So happy Yom Teruah to you all, I'm off to celebrate and maybe sound a few blasts on the shofar. :)

The biblical year starts in the spring with the month Nisan (Exodus 12:2). This has a certain logic to it. It is the beginning of the new harvest season. However, the rabbis gave such significance to this special Shabbat (it was the first of the fall holidays) that they eventually considered it as the "spiritual" New Year. Hence the name change as well. Biblically known as Yom Teruah (the Day of Sounding/Festival of Trumpets), this first day of Tishri became called "Rosh HaShanah," the Head of the Year. Our New Year is not like a secular new year...it is a day of repentenance and reflection. It is the day when the people of Israel take stock of their spiritual condition and make the necessary changes to insure that the upcoming new year will be pleasing to God. In traditional groups, the afternoon of Rosh HaShanah is spent at a body of water (ocean, lake or stream) observing the ancient service, Tashlich. The word derives from Micah 7:19 where the prophet promises, "You will hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea." To illustrate this, people cast bread crumbs or pebbles into the water and rejoice in God's promise of forgiveness.

Yeah, me too. Fortunately, the Hebrew "New Year" isn't so commercial as some of the western holidays. :)

It's a history we're not too proud of. Truth be told, marking it as the beginning of the year has its roots in Babylonian Mystery Religion; something we borrowed while on holiday there some 2500 years ago. It's where we got the "Rosh haShana" name from; the name means "head of year". You can read a little more about why it's often called the Jewish New year in this article[^]. The holiday itself, fortunately, has better groundings in its founding. God gave the Torah to Moses -- what Christians call the Pentateuch, or the first 5 books of the Christian and Hebrew Bibles -- which commands that on the first day of the 7th month, we are to celebrate and praise God for what he's done with lots of shouting of praise and loud shofar blasts. Teruah literally means "noise" or loud blasts. Just like the Psalmist said, "Shout unto God with a singing voice! Praise Him with the shofar! Praise him with your hands!" It's really a celebration of praise and prayer to God, and time to start focusing on getting yourself right with God.
