Rosh Hashanah - Blog Posts
Shana Tova everyone, and a happy holiday to all who celebrate! May this year be peaceful and fulfilling :)
Rosh Hashanah is the start of the Jewish new year. We say l'shana tovah, which means have a good year. Apples and challah (dipped in honey) are symbols of hope for a sweet new year. :)
Shanah tovah!!! May 5785 be filled with sweet wishes, everlasting hope, and peaceful blessings. 🍎🍯✡️
I made Gary (my gecko) a tiny Tallis and yarmulke for Rosh Hashanah and he wished u all happy new year

שנה טובה ומתוקה!
For the past month of Elul (and for this past week for the Ashkenazim lol), we have been reciting selichot, preparing for Yammim Noraim, the days of awe. And finally, tonight is the start of Rosh Hashanah.
So what’s so special? Why did we take the extra time to prepare? Isn’t it just the start of a new year, Nothing more?
There are two reasons why we blow the shofar on Rosh Hashanah:
One is a wake-up call, now is the time to do Teshuvah, now is the time to return to Hashem. We’ve sinned, we’ve transgressed, but now is the time to do better. We can always come back on the derech, the path.
Like how a king is announced with trumpets. Reason number two for the blowing of the shofar is that we are pronouncing Hashem as King of kings, Master of masters, and Host of hosts. We’ve grown comfortable throughout the year and we remind ourselves now of Hashem’s greatness while we renew our covenant with Hashem.
This year, when you hear the Shofars blows. Take the time to feel, to acknowledge, and to appreciate. May you have a year as sweet as Apple and Honey. Be plentiful in Mitzvot like a Pomegranate is in its seeds. And always dwell in the house of Hashem.

I wasn’t going to post anything else today with all that has happened in Israel but evil will not win.
While my heart and prayers are with all the victims and my people, here is a simple lesson on Jewish traditions during Rosh Hashanah.
Traditional Rosh Hashanah foods are symbolic, reflecting hope, renewal, and blessings for the new year. Key examples:
Apples in honey – Wishing for a sweet new year.
Round challah – Symbolizes life’s cycle and continuity, often sweetened with raisins.
Pomegranates – Represent abundance and the 613 commandments
Fish head – Symbolizes the hope to lead and make progress.
These foods are part of the Rosh Hashanah seder, accompanied by prayers and blessings for a fruitful and positive year.
I would like to wish all the Jewish employees of deep rock a happy Rosh Hashanah. And I encourage the non-jewish employees of deep rock to do the same.
