-Caveat Lector- Quite a significant moment. The New Year begins? Notice the year 5760 Well, I can see 666. Peter For more information on the Festival of the Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah) you can go to Eddie Chumney's web site. Click on this link: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/2175/chap7.html. When at the site scroll down until you arrive at Chapter 7 - Rosh Hashanah. Here is an excerpt from his material. Rosh HaShanah is observed for two days. It comes on the first and second days of the Hebrew month of Tishrei (usually in September or October), which is the first month of the biblical civil calendar. The month of Tishrei is the seventh month in the biblical religious calendar. This may seem strange that Rosh HaShanah, the New Year, is on the first and second day of Tishrei, the seventh month on the biblical religious calendar. The reason that Rosh HaShanah is the seventh month in the biblical religious calendar is that G-d made the month of Nisan the first month of the year in remembrance of Israel's divine liberation from Egypt (Exodus [Shemot] 12:2; 13:4). However, according to tradition, the world was created on Tishrei, or more exactly, Adam and Eve were created on the first day of Tishrei and it is from Tishrei that the annual cycle began. Hence, Rosh HaShanah is celebrated at this time. ****** Rosh Hashana 5760 begins tonight (Jerusalem Post) http://www.jpost.co.il/News/Article-4.html By HAIM SHAPIRO and JUDY SIEGEL JERUSALEM (September 10) - While much of the rest of the world awaits the millenium on January 1, millions of Jews in Israel and around the world are to mark the incoming of the year 5760 on Rosh Hashana, which begins at sundown tonight and will continue until sundown Sunday. Because tomorrow is Shabbat, the shofar, or ram's horn, will be blown only on Sunday. For the same reason, the traditional tashlich ceremony, in which worshipers visit a body of water and symbolically cast off the previous year's sins, will also take place Sunday. Rosh Hashana is the beginning of the Ten Days of Penitence, culminating in Yom Kippur. The Shabbat between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur is known as Shabbat Shuva, the Sabbath of Repentance. Monday, the day after Rosh Hashana, is the Fast of Gedaliah, commemorating the murder of Gedaliah, the Jewish governor of Judea, appointed by the Babylonians. We are about to go on a Journey.
