ROSH HASHANAH (the Jewish New Year, 5767) begins tonight at sundown. In the Bible this is known as the holy convocation of trumpets:
23: And the LORD said to Moses,
24: "Say to the people of Israel, In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall observe a day of solemn rest, a memorial proclaimed with blast of trumpets, a holy convocation.
25: You shall do no laborious work; and you shall present an offering by fire to the LORD."
(Leviticus 23:23-25)
Rosh HaShanah marks the beginning of the Days of Awe.

Happy New Year to all those celebrating.
