Tommorow night is the beginning of the Hebrew new year.

Our calendar is a combination of the lunar and solar cycle. So it resembles the chinese calendar more than it resembles the gregorian one.

There are some symbols related to our new year. One is apples, which are dipped in honey, to symbolize a sweet year to come. Another is the greeting of family, friends and colleagues with a "Shana Tova" which means "Good Year" (to come upon you). Pommegrantes are also a favorite food of this holiday. It's seeds represent 613 jewish decrees - according to tradition.

Rosh Hashana (the head of the year in hebrew) is a time for new beginnings, forgiving one another, and opening a new year with a clear mind and soul.

Shana Tova everyone!
