As far as I can remember, the High Holy Days are from Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur, but the main celebration bit is tonight/tomorrow, as Yom Kippur is a very solemn occasion. But I am not an expert, perhaps someone else can explain better. Or correct my errors...
Rosh Hashanah means "head of the year" if I remember correctly... --------------------------- Is an INTJ personality type!

Tonight is the start of the High Holy days also known as the Ten Days of Repentance. Depends on how religious you are, but basically, it means that with the beginning of the new year (in which you celebrate but are also being judged by God for the coming year), and ending with Yom Kippur (in which you fast and pray and atone for your sins so you can change any unfavorable judgement for the coming year), you are to meditate on the good and bad deeds you've done over the past year and your relationship to God and seek repentence for the bad that you've done. You do that by seeking forgiveness from those you've wronged and by praying to God for forgiveness.
Yom Kippur is the day of Atonement. You fast throughout the 25 hours of Yom Kippur and attend synagogue and then, to break the fast, you eat a lovely dinner with your family. One of the most solemn parts of Yom Kippur service (for me), is the recitation of the Kaddish, or prayer for the dead, by people who have lost loved ones the previous year. **** “Chives?†“Yes, m’lud?†“Is that Ms Ephemera hovering over the croquet lawn?†“Indeed m’lud.

Happy new jew year!
 "The other night I dreamed that King George VI was dead, and that Helen Hardinge had somehow or other got herself proclaimed Queen of England, and that I was detailed to go and tell her that it wouldn't do at all; and when I did this, all she said was, 'You see, I am really Queen Mary,' and I said, 'Oh very well' - words to that effect, and woke up. Last night I dreamed that Eisenhower came to stay with us, and he insisted on being put to sleep in the dog kennel, with a collar and chain about his neck." - Sir Alan Lascelles, 19 February 1980 |

This isn't one of those times when I can say "mazel tov" in an unironic fashion, is it?

Oo! Good question! I atone for having set aside my dreams and for ignoring the gifts that God created me with, and resolve to pursue my dreams and nurture my gifts and make a career out of them. (So I've started applying, in earnest, for full time faculty positions at university theatre departments.) I atone for having placed myself in a position that led to resentment and anger towards the people I care most about, and resolve to take responsibility for my feelings and communicate them more clearly. (I'll just say that for this one, TLOML is blatantly aware of the hot water he is in regarding his procrastation over proposing to me). **** “Chives?†“Yes, m’lud?†“Is that Ms Ephemera hovering over the croquet lawn?†“Indeed m’lud.

Traditional Rosh Hashanah snack food. Symbolizes the joy of the harvest and the hopes for sweetness to come.
Plus...have you ever had apples dipped in honey? Scrumptious! Oh...I just had a flavor memory of charoses-- it's a mixture of apples, nuts, wine, cinnamon & honey, and it's eaten at Passover as a symbol for the mortar used by Jewish slaves in building the Egyptians pyramids and whatnot. And it's yuuuuuummmy! **** “Chives?†“Yes, m’lud?†“Is that Ms Ephemera hovering over the croquet lawn?†“Indeed m’lud. She’s marshalled all the haggle-dans.

*pedantcough* not the Pyramids! Some of the older tombs, maybe ETA : I meant older as in the earlier ones after the pyramid period, of that makes sense. Makes more sense than the first way I put it, anyway  This message has been edited.
