What is Rosh Hashanah and how is it celebrated?

Rosh Hashanah, meaning "head of the year" in Hebrew, is the celebration of the Jewish New Year. It’s commemorated with prayers, food and gatherings.

By Danielle Abreu • Published 6 hours ago •Updated 5 hours ago

Rosh Hashanah is a two-day holiday celebrating the Jewish New Year and kicks off the start of the Jewish High Holiday season. Here’s everything you need to know about this important holiday celebrated by people around the world.

The two-day holiday known as Rosh Hashanah kicks off the beginning of the Jewish "High Holidays," a ten-day period of repentance and reflection that culminates with Yom Kippur, also known as the Day of Atonement, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar.

But what exactly is Rosh Hashanah and how is it celebrated? Here's everything you need to know:

What is Rosh Hashanah?

Rosh Hashanah, meaning "head of the year" in Hebrew, is the celebration of the Jewish New Year. During Rosh Hashanah, Jewish people around the world ask God for forgiveness for mistakes they’ve made over the past year and remind themselves not to repeat those mistakes in the coming year.

What is Yom Kippur?

Yom Kippur comes on the last of the 10 days of repentance that began with Rosh Hashanah. The day is usually observed with fasting and extended time in deep prayer, before ending with the sounding of a "shofar," a trumpet made from a ram's horn.

When is Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur 2023?

Rosh Hashanah is observed on the first day of the month of Tishrei on the Hebrew calendar, which falls in September or October on the Gregorian calendar, the calendar commonly used throughout the world.

This year in 2023, Rosh Hashanah begins at sunset on Friday, Sept. 15, and ends at sunset on Sunday, Sept. 17. Yom Kippur will begin next week on the evening of Sunday, Sept. 24, and ends the evening of Monday, Sept. 25.

How is Rosh Hashanah celebrated?

Rosh Hashanah observances include special foods, traditions and mitzvahs, or commandments, and celebrations can vary from family to family. Many people attend services at a temple or synagogue, where a special service is held with messages of hope and atonement in the new year.

A hollowed-out ram’s horn, called a shofar, is blown during services to awake any spiritual slumber and remind worshipers to return to God and reflect on their sins.

Another important part of Rosh Hashanah is Tzedakah, or giving back to those in need. The belief is that by carrying out good deeds, God will notice these efforts and bless them with a fruitful new year.

Some Jewish families toss bread crumbs into bodies of water to symbolize the discarding of their sins, a tradition that dates back centuries.

What Do People Eat During Rosh Hashanah?

Fish is a traditional meal at Rosh Hashanah as it symbolizes fertility and abundance. Some people will eat the head of the fish to express the desire to be leaders and not followers in the year.

Many Jewish families also eat challah bread and apples dipped in honey, symbolizing the sweet hopes for the New Year.

Some families will also eat pomegranate fruit as its many seeds represent the many blessings in the coming year.

What Are Rosh Hashanah Greetings?

Because Rosh Hashanah celebrates the Jewish New Year, the most common greeting is "Happy New Year." The equivalent in Hebrew is "Shanah tovah," (pronounced shah-NAH toe-VAH) which literally means "good year."

Shanah tovah is the condensed version of a longer greeting L’shana tovah u’metukah, which means “for a good and sweet year.”

You can also say "chag sameach" (pronounced KHAHG sah-MEY-akh) which means "happy festival," the Hebrew equivalent of Happy Holidays."

A Few Of The Pitfalls In Hoodoo When Starting Out.

When someone gets started in Hoodoo you will come across some problems as a new commer.

Here are some of the problems that you may encounter starting out.

1 Trying to learn and understand hoodoo on your own, seeing it from your own view point and not from the ansestors.

If we look at the ansestors there are two the ones that are from Africa and there are the ones off the boat that came to the Us. Hoodoo envolved from the ansestors in the American South. We take our African ansestors for instance who practice a religion like Vodun or other type of Orisha religions, then later came Christianity and it began to merge the two. When they came to the south over time it became a Africanized Christian religion. (For more see last post)

That was created by our southern ansestors to form what we know today as traditional hoodoo.

2 Don't be fouled by the fakeness of the marketeers and Hollywood. All the things they want you to buy. The glamor, the stones and the glitter and the witchy symbols they try to add to our practice. It's like I said before think about what our ansestors in the American south had at there disposal at the time? what was available to them at the time? What did they have access too?

These are things to think about that will help you to not get caught up in the fakeness.

3 You should remember that the marketeers these companies that sell these fake hoodoo products have been around for 20+ years and realized that after movies like the Skeleton Key came out they figured they can sell these products and make a lot of money because people will buy it.

There not going to tell you that Hoodoo was a spiritual guerrilla warfare to help slaves to help them escape. But there not going to tell you any of that because they can't sell that, so the trick you by making it glamorous. So they add things like the moon phases, blood, crystals, etc because Hollywood sees it that way so it must be true.

here’s my tongue piercing guide as someone who got one like 3 days ago

the pain of the actual piercing is very low, it was a 3/10 on my personal scale

those little ice nuggets at sonic are a god send

some people can chew on the first day but don’t count on it, my diet has consisted of mashed potatoes, yogurt, frostys, and soup

no spicy, acidic, or very salty foods as they can irritate your piercing, dairy is fine as long as you use your cleanser of choice afterwards

the pain after the piercing is honestly worse than the piercing itself, but not unbearable

you can use biotene mouthwash (or other alcohol free mouthwash) or carefully measured salt water but using both is not a good idea because you could get thrush

a little white ring around your piercing in the first few days is normal, it’s just your tongue trying to scab (lymph fluid)

use your mouthwash (or salt water) after every time you eat, otherwise you don’t want to clean it too much

yes you will talk with a lisp, i’ve been saying “sh” instead of “s” and haven’t even bothered to pronounce my “L”

most importantly

ASK YOUR PIERCER IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS they are very kind about answering them

#tongue piercing #piercing aftercare #piercing advice #tongue piercing aftercare #what you need to know #but just the basics #i am not a professional #just saying #please don’t sue me

What You Need to Know

There’s a particular headline I’ve been seeing more and more as our society crumbles into social disillusionment and although it’s glaringly obvious to me how this headline is a perfect representation of our general lack of thoughtful and intentional progress—progress; in the sense that progress is development not simply “change”—it isn’t always so obvious to everyone and, I don’t know, maybe there are a number of reasons why but I do know that we are always too focused on what’s next and not necessarily what is. This headline reads something like, “What you need to know about…” “What you need to know about the election.” "What you need to know about Amber Heard.” "What you need to know about racism.” "What you need to know about the conservatives/liberals.” “What you need to know…” These are arbitrary articles written by anyone with an idea; these writers, these people are no more cognizant to a perspective than any one of you and yet we allow them to sift through the facts or the truth and determine what it is that I need to know about it (assuming, of course, sifting is a part of the process at all, and not simply more perspective advertising). I, without hesitation or question, absolutely reject the idea that what anyone might want to tell me aside from the most fundamental facts of the situation in any way is a representation of what I might need to know. I urge you, when confronted with any idea or perspective to actively disengage any bias you may have and to consciously zoom out as if looking at whatever city you might reside from a high distance, until all you see is grid-like circular greyish image of roads and allow your purview the flexibility to receive prospects as if roads, avenues, streets, and interstates in and out of your purview without impediment. Think for yourself, but consciously and with purpose. I was walking through Yellowstone National Park one afternoon and not far from the Morning Glory pool a few miles from Old Faithful I stepped off the trail, where I saw a picnic table at the side of the boardwalk, to snap a picture of a river near the riverbank. Several moments later a gentlemen walked up to me and told me I shouldn't be doing that, he had a few more words to say about it. Instead of explaining to him that Yellowstone, if you’ve ever walked through there, has never shied away from placing “Do Not Enter,” “Unsafe, Return to Walkway,” etc., signs all over the place, they’ll put up barricades and build fences, they don’t place picnic tables and have biking tails adjacent to boardwalks in places they don’t want you walking. On top of that, flowers, grass, trees, and other plants don’t grow in or near dangerous thermal areas, Bison don’t walk in areas with unsafe foundations; the point that I’m making is to pay attention, be conscious of your surroundings and your thoughts and actively maintain and develop them. This man and two people he was with then proceeded to jump on their bikes and ride down the path; “funny…” I thought, “…although biking is allowed on this particular paved trail near Old Faithful, there are also hundreds of people walking back and forth every hour and whether biking may be permitted or not, is it actually safe?” The thought did not once cross that guy’s mind, but he was certainly concerned about me walking along a trail near the boardwalk by the ‘Faded Glory’ pool down to the riverbank. Please, think and live consciously. (Don’t be like the author of those headlines and don’t systematically judge and question people without thought to your own actions, and even then, when confronted with the freedom(s) of choice to question another human beings’ actions and reactions, don’t—not directly, you have the freedom to say something, and you have the freedom to not; don’t. They don’t care what you think, and besides when you do that, you’re not doing it for them you’re doing it for yourself, and that makes you a human piece of garbage. I promise you, you have enough to work on regarding your own sense of conscious living, don’t think about why they did something, think instead about why you didn’t, and that’s enough). Please, think and live consciously.

one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method

#I was forced to get over my hatred of making phone calls bc of this #one 15 minute phone call is the equivalent of 5 back and forth emails #also if you don't know exactly what you need help with you can just ask and you can get real help #instead of just desperately clawing at faqs on websites #it's infuriating that it works so well #ramblings

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

#i often wonder about how many things would be considered classic or high art had they only received the marketing #how many short films that were made for class could have been the most powerful thing you'd ever seen? if you'd seen them?#“you know the greatest films of all time were never made” etc etc #but like. these works of art ARE being made. it's just enjoyed by a smaller audience with equal impact though #i think about this one furry i used to follow on insta who had the coolest worldbuilding ever. it's been years.#thought prompted by that sketch of nimona from ten years ago that was just for a character design #posted to the creator's tumblr and now it's nominated for best animated feature film at the oscars #and by the genuine emotional reaction a fan comic made me feel. how much work had gone into it. how beautiful it was to me.#idk what to tag this but i hope whoever needs to hear it does #writing #writer #fandom #fandom culture #artist

Q&A: The Clintons and Haiti, what you need to know

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump is accusing the Clintons of cashing in on Haiti’s deadly 2010 earthquake.

The Republican nominee cited State Department emails obtained by the Republican National Committee through a public records request and detailed in an ABC News story.

At issue is whether friends of former President Bill Clinton, referred to as “friends of Bill,” or “FOB,” in the emails, received preferential treatment or contracts from the State Department in the immediate aftermath of the 7.0-magnitude earthquake on Jan. 12, 2010. More than 230,000 people died, the U.S. has said.

The State Department and Clinton campaign have said Clinton supporters received no preferential treatment.

Here are some questions and answers about the Clintons and Haiti post-earthquake:

Q: Did friends of the Clintons get special treatment after the 2010 earthquake?

A: There is evidence from the emails that the State Department asked the Clinton Foundation to flag friends of Secretary Hillary Clinton and the former president, as employees from both organizations waded through offers of assistance.

“Need you to flag when people are friends of wjc. … most I can probably id, but not all,” State Department staffer Caitlin Klevorick wrote in an email to Clinton Foundation director of foreign policy Amitabh Desai just three days after the earthquake.

But there is no evidence these Clinton friends got preferential treatment or contracts as a result, the State Department said.

The Clinton campaign said Hillary Clinton never did anything at the State Department as a result of donations to the Clinton Foundation.

Q: Why was the Clinton Foundation emailing the State Department about humanitarian aid for Haiti anyway?

A: It’s helpful to know about the Clintons’ history with Haiti, as the impoverished Caribbean nation holds a special place in the couple’s hearts and foreign policy portfolios. They vacationed there in 1975, shortly after they were married. During the Clinton administration, Bill Clinton deployed U.S. troops to Haiti in 1994 to restore democratically elected President Jean-Bertrand Aristide following his military ouster three years prior. And Hillary Clinton said she made Haiti a priority when she became secretary of state, with specific goals of creating jobs and economic growth.

At the time of the earthquake, the Clintons’ international nonprofit, the Clinton Global Initiative, already had a footprint in the country, with 34 commitments starting in 2007, according to an Associated Press analysis. Some of these commitments were ongoing in 2010, such as efforts to improve primary education, rebuild schools and improve access to clean water. Bill Clinton not only represented the Clinton Foundation and was married to the secretary of state, but he also had been the United Nations special envoy for Haiti since 2009.

After the earthquake, Clinton Foundation donors reached out to their contacts at the foundation. The foundation, which was in regular contact with Hillary Clinton’s staff after she took the helm of the State Department in 2009, relayed offers of humanitarian assistance and problems with delivering such assistance due to bureaucratic red tape.

For example, one such “FOB” identified in the emails was Denis O’Brien, an Irish billionaire and owner of a mobile phone network called Digicel, headquartered in Jamaica. O’Brien has been a long-time benefactor to the Clinton Foundation, pledging between $10 million and $25 million, according to the charity’s most recent records. According to the emails, Digicel was trying to get communications equipment into Haiti, but O’Brien said they were “finding it impossible.” In January 2010, he asked Clinton Foundation executive Doug Band to give him a “high-level introduction to someone in the State Department to get this resolved rapidly.” Band replied, “never a bother,” and forwarded the email on to the right people at the State Department.

Q: The overwhelming offers for assistance — are these altruistic donations, or is there an ulterior motive for business contracts?

A: A little from column A, and a little from Column B.

Many of the emails Trump cites show organizations offering services and equipment, such as earth-moving machines and dump trucks. There were probably similar emails sent to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies at the time, said Doug White, a fundraising management expert who used to work at Columbia University. This is a typical response after a major disaster like the 2010 Haiti earthquake, he said. White reviewed the emails in question and didn’t see anything out of the ordinary for a disaster of this magnitude. “I didn’t get the sense that there was any sort of conflict of interest being acted upon,” White said. “I’m not seeing a lot of greed within these emails.”

The United Nations said Haiti was pledged $12.5 billion from more than 50 countries and multilateral agencies after the earthquake, a combination of humanitarian assistance, recovery aid and disaster relief. According to the State Department, the U.S. has made $4.5 billion available for post-earthquake assistance. So, yes, there was money to be made.

A Feb. 2, 2010, State Department cable from the then-U.S. ambassador, Kenneth Merten, described a “gold rush.”

“As Haiti digs out from the earthquake, different companies are moving in to sell their concepts, products and services,” Merten wrote, citing meetings some companies were having with Haiti government officials. Merten did not say that these companies were meeting with U.S. government officials.

Q: Trump said Haitian-Americans “despise the Clintons for what they did to the people of Haiti.” Is that true?

A: In September, Trump visited a Miami neighborhood known as “Little Haiti” and he promised to “be a friend” to Haitian-Americans. It was there, he said, that he learned how much the Haitian-American community dislikes the Clintons.

It is true that some members of the Haitian-American community have questioned where the billions of dollars in earthquake aid went. In March 2015, some Haitian-Americans protested in front of Clinton’s New York office, according to local news reports. Marleine Bastien, a longtime Haitian-American activist and executive director of a Florida-based advocacy group, Haitian Women of Miami, said that six years after the earthquake, there are still questions about how the money has been spent. But more pressing to the Haitian-American community, she said, is the issue of Haitian immigrants detained at the U.S. southern border since late September and then deported. Bastien said the people of Little Haiti want Clinton to discuss her plans for the immigrants. Clinton visited Miami on Tuesday, but did not swing by Little Haiti. The Haitian-American community has been a reliable Democratic voting bloc in South Florida. The Clinton campaign said she has met with Haitian community leaders while campaigning in Florida.

consider the sperm whale and the squid. an ancient rivalry that dates back millions of years. we know the whales eat the squids. we know the squids do not make it easy for them. we know this because of the scars the whales carry, scars on the outside of their body, and on the inside as well. how badly must you want something to endure wounds inside your mouth? inside your gut?

consider the whale, who is harmed by what sustains her. consider the squid, whose flesh is soft and delicious but refuses to go down easy.

#mine #suggestion #this is not a direct allegory to anything i just think about whales with scars inside their stomachs and i Feel Things #oh i do know what its like to fight the thing you need. i do know the bittersweet taste of victory for a price.#y'all ever relate to a whale?#50 #100 #500 #1k #5k #10k #25k #35k
