Happy 5785


For John, BLUFToday, 3 October, is the beginning of the new Jewish Year, Rosh Hashanah.  Nothing to see here; just move along.




Here is a Wikipedia explanation:
Rosh Hashanah is a two-day observance and celebration that begins on the first day of Tishrei, which is the seventh month of the ecclesiastical year. In contrast to the ecclesiastical lunar new year on the first day of the first month Nisan, the spring Passover month which marks Israel's exodus from Egypt, Rosh Hashanah marks the beginning of the civil year, according to the teachings of Judaism, and is the traditional anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve, the first man and woman according to the Hebrew Bible, as well as the initiation of humanity's role in God's world.
Happy New Year and a better year in 5785.
