Oneg: Joy of the Season
"May it be Your will, Eternal our God, God of all generations, that the year five
thousand seven hundred seventy two bring to us and the whole House of Israel life
and peace, joy and exaltation, redemption and comfort; and let us say: Amen.”
(Gates of Repentance)
Rosh Hashanah, which we will celebrate in 2 weeks, is the birthday of the world. t
is a time for new beginnings, for preservation of our heritage, and for joyous
celebration. We celebrate with apples dipped in honey. We wish each other a sweet
New Year. We sing and pray together as grand communities. During this month of
Elul we prepare for the New Year, with anticipation of great joy and happiness.
Who do you want to wish a sweet new year to? Will you call them, text them, see
them or send them a card?
What do you want to eat as the new year begins to celebrate the sweetness it could
bring to your life?
How will you make Rosh Hashanah a joyous day?
