Subject: Shanah Tovah! Get ready for ⑤⑦⑧③!

Rosh Hashanah 5783, the Jewish New Year, begins before sunset on Sept. 25 and continues for two days.

View Online Version ב"ה Rosh Hashanah 5783 begins before sunset on Sept. 25 and continues through Sept. 27. With Rosh Hashanah just around the corner, we trust that the brisket is in the freezer, the honey is in the pantry, the apples are in the fridge, and the aroma of fresh challah (round and studded with raisins) is filling your home. And on a spiritual front, we've all been working hard to prepare as well. Hearing the shofar each weekday morning, examining our past year, and refreshing our understanding and appreciation of the Rosh Hashanah prayers and the inner significance of this day.  And if this is not the case—if you need an invite for services or meals, guidance on how to best prepare, or even an in-house shofar blowing—please reach out to us, and we'll do our best. To enhance your prayer and celebration, here's our essential pre-Rosh Hashanah to-do list, with lots of handy links and resources. We wish you, yours, and the entire world a very healthy, happy, and sweet new year! Shanah Tovah! From your friends and family @ Chabad.org P.S.: This coming Jewish year, 5783, is unique.
