Rosh Hashannah

Last Friday we observed Rosh Hashannah (Jewish New Year), followed by the High Holy Days and Yom Kippur, in which we reflected on our need for God and personal repentance. We haven't followed every tradition to the tee, but enough to take it to heart. Notice, the bread for Rosh Hashannah is not braided like it is for traditional Sabbath. It is round, celebrating the fullness and abundance of God's provision at harvest and in the year to come. Traditionally, these feasts are in September, but as we were starting the school year, it fit for us :).
