Serving the U of A Community

L’Shanah Tovah, Happy Rosh Hashanah!! Wishing all who celebrate the holiday a healthy, happy, prosperous, sweet and blessed New Year!!! This year in 2023, Rosh Hashanah begins at sunset on Friday, Sept. 15, and ends at sunset on Sunday, Sept. 17. Yom Kippur will begin next week on the evening of Sunday, Sept. 24, and ends the evening of Monday, Sept. 25. What Are Rosh Hashanah Greetings? Because Rosh Hashanah celebrates the Jewish New Year, the most common greeting is "Happy New Year." The equivalent in Hebrew is "Shanah tovah," (pronounced shah-NAH toe-VAH) which literally means "good year." Shanah tovah is the condensed version of a longer greeting L’shana tovah u’metukah, which means “for a good and sweet year.” You can also say "chag sameach" (pronounced KHAHG sah-MEY-akh) which means "happy festival," the Hebrew equivalent of Happy Holidays." שנה טובה ✡️🍎🍯 ⁦‪#RoshHashanah2023‬⁩ ⁦‪#RoshHashanah‬⁩
