Happy Birthday World!

Rosh Hashonah marks the anniversary of creation.  On Rosh Hashonah, the Jewish people unite to acknowledge that the Ribono shel Olam, the Master of the Universe, is King and the whole universe, time and space, is his creation. It is also the Yom HaDin, the awesome day of judgment, when all of creation passes by God in judgment like sheep before a shepherd.  Tonight, as Rosh Hashonah 5773 begins, Jewish families will dip apples in honey at the outset of their festival meal, nd pray for a sweet year.   May all of our readers and their families be blessed, written and sealed for a happy and sweet year.
