Sound the shofar, today is Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year!! As a Christian, I don’t really know a lot about Jewish holy days, but I’d like to. Growing up in the NYC area, we always got those days off from school, so I had good reason to like them. More than that, Jesus was Jewish, through and through, and what he celebrated is important to me. Briefly, it is the anniversary of God’s creation of Adam and Eve. Further, it emphasizes the special relationship between we, the created, and our Creator. Sounds like a great reason to eat an apple slice dipped in honey and rejoice!! “Sound the ram's horn at the New Moon, and when the moon is full, on the day of our Feast..” Psalm 8:13
