A Happy New Jewish Year to everyone who's reading this entry. See the date for Rosh Hashanah, and read more about it.

A certain Jewish American friend had told me that on Rosh Hashanah they did not have a feast like Israelis do, but rather just went to the synagogue to pray. However, an Observant American Jew told me that they do have a feast, because a feast is an inseparable part of any Jewish "Yom Tov" (I.e: "good day"). So even if you're not observant, make sure to eat to your heart's content.

Shanah Tovah! שנה טובה.
