Rosh Hashshana 2023

Began at sunset 
on Friday, Sept. 15, 
and ends at sunset 
on Sunday, Sept. 17.

No matter yours truly an atheist, 
I consider myself 
fascinated with my Semitic ancestry
(maybe unwittingly genealogically 
linkedin with unsuspecting readers)
excited regarding: upcoming
Jewish holiday(s) fast approaching 
by the bewitching hour, 
which doth hold key
to Chamber Of Secrets to – me
analogous being Sorcerer's Apprentice
tendering, and kindling Goblet of Fire
as you will read and see,
though impossible mission 
to proffer extensive family tree.

Courtesy of Google, this grown man 
linkedin with tribes of Zion
indulged curiosity of mine
proudly harkens, (particularly 
as he doth accumulate 
orbitz around the sun) 
from Semitic ancestral line
surrounded by Jewish community
(countless years ago, 
when we called Penn Valley 
our place of residence)
off a street that arched 
(like Noah’s bow sprint)
and named Woodbine.

Yet, he knows virtually nothing 
about Jewish History 
lets inquisitiveness wander
as a descendent from 
the “Lost Tribes Of Israel”
pondering how his life would be lived
if baptized in customs, faith, and religion
considered one of 
the oldest codified paradigms.
  
The first of the High Holy Days
or Yamim Nora'im ("Days of Awe")
celebrated on the first two days of Tishrei
the first day of the 
seventh month as "Zikhron Teru'ah" 
("A memorial with the blowing of horns").

Rosh Hashanah is described 
as "the day of judgment" 
(Yom ha-Din) and 
"the day of remembrance" 
(Yom ha-Zikkaron)
occurs 163 days 
after the first day of Passover (Pesach)
beginning of Rosh Hashanah  
at sundown at the end of 29 Elul.

The evening before 
Rosh Hashanah day is known 
as Erev Rosh Hashanah
("Rosh Hashanah eve").

On Rosh Hashanah day, 
religious poems, called piyyuttim, 
are added to the regular services. 

A special prayer book, 
the Mahzor is used 
on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

This sacred day, 
the horn doth blow to then chauffeur 
(two precious daughters 
now grown and autonomous 
didst long since exit and escape 
parental basket of deplorables, 
where freedon beckoned, 
when age of consent attained 
exited – rather hightailed out front door)
marginally linkedin with historical past 
replete with tantalizing lore,
where legions of commandments pour
and more relevant than ever 
as global tempests roar
atrocity diminishing Hebraic peoples 
courtesy incessant pograms and war.
