A Good and Sweet New Year to You. The Jewish New Year, or Rosh Hashanah, invites reflection and expectation as we consider the previous year and look ahead to the next.

It’s almost New Years – on the Jewish calendar, that is. The Hebrew name for the Jewish New Year is Rosh Hashanah (Roshe Hah-SHAH-nah). At sunset on September 20, Jewish people, including Messianic Jews, the world over will welcome a new year.
