Please excuse my ignorance but am I wrong in taking Rosh Hashanah to mean New Year? Does anything that I miss make it something not to joke about? Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur are the Jewish High Holidays. Since they have not been commercialized like Christmas and Easter, they have the level of religious significance of those holidays without any of the distractions. It is a time to reflect on the events of the past year, atone for your sins, both with god and your fellow man, and for many jews, the only time that they go to temple. I am quite certain that Mark didn't mean offense by his play on words, unfortunately he succeeded. Cheers Ecke - Cameras don’t shoot people.
