Shana Tova! (Happy Rosh Hashanah)

It’s the Jewish New Year.  It’s the year 5787 for the Jewish calendar.  I don’t really get it either.  It’s a lunisolar calendar that supposedly starts at the creation of the universe and has a leap year every 19 years.  Anyway, it’s celebrated by dipping apples in honey, which is always a nice snack.  There are prayers involved too.  Not to mention the shofar, which is a ram’s horn that is blown.  That’s fun.

About Charles Yallowitz

Charles E. Yallowitz was born, raised, and educated in New York. Then he spent a few years in Florida, realized his fear of alligators, and moved back to the Empire State. When he isn't working hard on his epic fantasy stories, Charles can be found cooking or going on whatever adventure his son has planned for the day. 'Legends of Windemere' is his first series, but it certainly won't be his last.

  1. Shana Tova, Charles! 🍎🍯 The apples-and-honey tradition sounds like such a sweet, simple way to welcome a new year genuinely wish more calendars started with a nice snack. Hope 5787 brings you a wonderful year ahead.
