Happy New Year In Hebrew

This year, Rosh Hashanah comes early to Queens and all its Jewish inhabitants. The Jewish New Year, which heralds the Hebrew year 5771, began at sundown on Wednesday, September 8 and ends at sundown on Friday, September 10.
Thus began the High Holy Days, culminating with Yom Kippur - Day of Atonement, which begins at sundown on Friday, September 17 and ends at sundown on Saturday 18 September.

Rosh Hashanah is celebrated as a day of rest and is characterized by the sound of the shofar - a trumpet made from a ram's horn. It is intended to awaken listeners of his "dream" and a warning for the upcoming trial of Yom Kippur.
The faithful can go to any of their own chabbads and synagogues for the holiday events and services. The Chabad of Northeast Queens lights Shabbat candles and Bayside offers a festive lunch on the first day of the celebration.
Queens Courier extends its warmest Happy New Year to all our Jewish friends and readers.
