Rosh Hashanah Greetings: 10 Traditional Sayings To Write On Your Cards

L’shanah Tovah! Happy Rosh Hashanah to our fellow Jewish Latinos and our Jewish friends! On September 20, at sundown, the celebrations for the Jewish New Year, the first of the High Holy Days will begin. Rosh Hashanah is a two-day celebration, which begins on the first day of Tishrei, the first month of the civil year, and the seventh month of the ecclesiastical year in the Hebrew calendar. Tishrei usually occurs in September-October on the Gregorian calendar.

This day is believed to be the anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve, the first man and woman, and their first actions toward the realization of humanity's role in God's world. Rosh Hashanah customs include sounding the shofar (a hollowed-out ram's horn) and eating symbolic foods such as apples dipped in honey to evoke a "sweet new year." To celebrate along with our Jewish friends, we’ve put together some greetings that would be perfect for your “Happy New Year” cards.

1) “Wishing you good health, happiness, peace and prosperity. Today and all through the year! L’shanah Tovah!”
