With Craig attending school in New York City and the millions of different ethnic and religious groups in the city I am interested in the religious holidays that other religious bodies celebrate.
Craig arrives home today for a four day visit because of Rosh Hashanah (All colleges are closed in New York City).
Rosh Hashanah is the first and second days of the first Jewish month of Tishrei. It marks the beginning of the Jewish new year. The celebration of this holiday is marked with solemnity, as it is the day on which the Jewish people believe the whole world is judged for the coming year. Rosh Hashanah is the birthday of the world, as it was on this day that God created Man on the 6th day of creation. Every year, on this day, we proclaim God as our one and true King.
This year, Rosh Hashanah, begins on Wednesday evening, September 12 and continues through Sunday night, September 16.
