Well, it's time to start the Jewish marathon. Rosh Hashanah starts tonight, Yom Kippor next Thursday, then Sukkot, and to end it off Simchas Torah and Shemini Atzeret.
Here are the explainations:
Rosh Hashanah: Lit. Head of the year. The new year starts at sundown tonite til Wed. nite. We also hear the Shofar (Rams Horn) 100 blasts each day (I'll post a picture of mine after Rosh Hashanah).
Yom Kippor: The holiest of days. Day of Atonement. 24 1/2 hour fast. That's right, no food, no water, no leather. Starts next Wed nite thru Thursday.
Sukkot: This is a seven day holiday, where we celebrate in a Sukkah (I will post a picture of mine after I put it together after Yom Kippor.
Simchas Torah and Shemini Atzeret: The end of Sukkot and the end and beginning of the Torah. Alot of festivities.
So now I must get ready for the marathon of Pray, Eat, Sleep, Pray, Eat, Sleep, Pray, Eat Sleep, etc. Time to gain weight
