Rosh Hashana 2023
L'SHANNA TOVA TIKATEVU!
"May you be inscribed for a good year!" This is the greeting Jewish people share with one another during this season as they prepare to observe Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.
Rosh Hashanah literally means, "the head of the year," and thus refers to "the new year." The festival itself is never called Rosh Hashanah in the Bible, though it is the most common name for the feast today. The biblical name for this feast is Yom T'ruah, meaning "a day of blowing" (Numbers 29:1) referring to the blowing of the shofar or "ram's horn," and Zicharon Teruah, "the memorial of blowing" (Leviticus 23:24).
