Rosh Hashshana 2023

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.
