Happy New Year! Or L’shana tovah u’metukah (long version of “Shana Tovah“), which translates to “for a good and sweet year.” As Rosh Hashanah begins, it brings good feelings we all need right now, Jewish or not. It’s a feeling of putting the old year, with all of its trouble, mistakes, and wrong-doing, behind us and getting a fresh start. It’s incentive to do things right, treat each other according to the Golden Rule, make wise decisions, have compassion for others, treat all of our brothers and sisters with dignity.
I’m not Jewish, but I thank my Jewish brethren for their tradition and the gift of Rosh Hashanah. Shana Tovah, my readers!
