L’shana Tovah   (a New Year’s wish to all our Jewish readers.)     It means,

“May you have a joyful year and be inscribed in the book of life.” It would be appropriate for non-Jews and Jews alike  to wish their Jewish friends, relatives and neighbors a “l’shana  tovah.”

This holiday marks the start of a new year—-5777.  Jews go the synagogue where the rams horn (shofar) is blown to usher in a new year filled with peace, prosperity and blessing.

DEBBIE FRIEDMAN:  Debbie reviews some of the traditions.  She mentions tashlikh, a ritual where bread crumbs  are tossed into a body of water.  The Ocean Grove Chavurah (fellowship) reenacted this ritual last weekend at Deal Lake.
