Get Your Hebrew On


Happy Rosh Hashanah all my Jewish friends! As you may or may not know, Rosh Hashanah is Hebrew for “beginning of the year.” It's the Jewish New Year, celebrated on the first and second days of the Jewish month of Tishri (falling in September or October). It begins the observance of the Ten Penitential Days, a period ending with Yom Kippur that is the most solemn of the Jewish calendar. In the Bible, Rosh Hashanah is mentioned as a day of remembrance and of the sounding of the ram's horn. I wonder if there is a correlation with the stock market dropping, and the $700 million bill not passing...
