Shanah Tovah

ראש השנה

 Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year and is called the Feast of Trumpets. 


The blowing of the shofar is a call to repent.


The common greeting is Shanah Tovah.

Shanah Tova is shortened from L'Shanah Tovah Tikatevu, meaning 'May you be may you be inscribed in the Book of Life for a good year.'

Have a good year.

A good blessed year.






Numbers 29:1 ... And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: it is a day of blowing the trumpets unto you.



Leviticus 23:24 ...   Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.



Ezra 3:1-2 ... And when the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.  Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and builded the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God.



Micah 7:18-20 ... Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.  He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea. Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.


Revelation 21:27 ... And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.✞
