Leviticus 16:24 specifies...in the seventh month,on the first of the month,there shall be a sabbath for you,a remembrance with shofar blasts,a Holy Convocation...no work is allowed on Rosh Hashanah.much of the day is |

most of the day is spent in the synagogue and a special prayer book is used because of the large number of liturgical changes.One of the nicer parts of the holiday is the eating of apples dipped in honey. to signify the wish for a sweet new year,and bread is baked in rounds instead of the usual plaits to show the circle of the year.So all that remains is for me to wish every one...L'shanah tovah tikatev v'taihatem and for ladies L'shanah tovah tikatevi v'taihatemi.
