Symbols of Rosh HaShanah (Jewish New Year)

Shana Tova, Happy Jewish New Year 5776!

“Say to the Israelites: ‘On the first day of the seventh month you are to have a day of sabbath rest, a sacred assembly commemorated with trumpet blasts.  Do no regular work, but present a food offering to the Lord.’”  (Leviticus 23:23–25)

Today is one of the holiest days of the Jewish year: Rosh HaShanah (Head of the Year)—the beginning of the Jewish year 5776.

Since this holy day is considered a Sabbath, no work is done; all over Israel and around the world, the Jewish People are attending services in local synagogues. Biblically, this celebration is known as Yom Teruah (Feast of Trumpets). Last night as the holiday began, selichot (prayers for forgiveness) intensified and this morning the shofar (ram’s horn or trumpet) is being sounded about 100 times, depending upon the community's tradition. It will continue to be sounded throughout this holiday season.

 
 

Round challahs at Jewish New Year have
become a widespread custom in many
communities, as their shape symbolizes the
yearly cycle.  Some add raisins or even sprinkle
these loaves with icing sugar to symbolize the
sweetness of the new year.

First and Second Day Customs

This holiday is a feast; therefore, it is customary for families to gather for a holiday meal that begins with the blessing over two round challahs (egg bread) dipped in honey. The challah is round to represent completeness, the continuity of creation and the omnipresence of God, as well as the yearly cycle. Right afterward, apple slices are dipped in honey.  This simple tradition conveys the hope that the coming year will be sweet and free of sorrow. Today, a special ceremony called Tashlich (casting off) will be performed. This ritual involves symbolically casting off sin.  To do this, bits of bread and other food will be tossed into a body of water, such as a stream, river, lake, pond or sea, which will carry them away.  As we toss them we recite Micah 7:18–19 and other verses. “Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance?  You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy.  You will again have compassion on us; You will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.”  (Micah 7:18–19)

Tonight as the sun goes down, the second night of Rosh HaShanah will begin, and many will observe the tradition of serving a fruit that has just come into season. This fruit is often the pomegranate since it comes into season in Israel around this time. According to Jewish tradition, the pomegranate has 613 seeds, which is the same number of mitzvot (commandments) in the Torah. The following blessing called the Shehecheyanu (Who Has Given Us Life) is recited before eating the fruit: Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the Universe, who has kept us alive, sustained us, and brought us to this season.  Amen.

The Shofar

“On the first day of the seventh month you are to have a day of rest [Shabbaton], a sacred assembly [mikreh kodesh] commemorated with trumpet blasts [Zichron Teruah].”  (Leviticus 23:24) In Leviticus 23:24, Rosh HaShanah is called Shabbaton Zichron Teruah, which is translated as a special Sabbath holiday of remembrance with the blasting of the shofar. That is why a central observance of this holy day is the sounding of the shofar, which heralds God as King of the Universe.  The shofar played a role when He came to the Israelites in a dense cloud at Mount Sinai. There in His presence, on the morning of the third day, three months after they left Egypt, amidst booming thunder and flashes of lightning, the shofar sounded. We can only imagine the intensity of the scene.  It was so powerful that "everyone in the camp trembled.”  (Exodus 19:16) Who blew the shofar from that thick cloud on Mount Sinai with all the people of Israel gathered below?  Was it an angel of the Lord or did Elohim—God Himself—blow the shofar?

greater kudu (southeastern African antelope) in the Yemenite Jewish style,

The shofar is an instrument of great spiritual significance.

The purpose of the sound of the shofar is to wake God’s people out of their spiritual slumber, to cause them to see the signs of the times, and to remind them to examine the spiritual condition of their lives. This is the message of teshuvah (repentance), which in Hebrew literally means to return.  Teshuvah, therefore, is turning from our sins and returning to God. So, why do we blow the shofar on Yom Zichron Teruah?  Although we know it is a commandment, the reasons are not specifically stated. "On the first day of the seventh month hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work.  It is a day for you to sound the trumpets [Yom Teruah]."   (Numbers 29:1)

Israeli Prime Ministry Invites Ambassadors to his Bible Study-3

Israeli President Rivlin Opens School Year in Samaria

"‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will gather you from the nations and bring you back from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you back the land of Israel again.’ … I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them."  (Ezekiel 11:17, 19)

On last Tuesday, Israeli President Reuven Rivlin welcomed the start of the 2015–2016 school year at an elementary school in Peduel, a community in Samaria. "Peduel is the symbol of connection—a link between the Biblical [Israelite] kingdom and the state of today," Rivlin declared.  "Samaria is here, Jerusalem is here and Tel Aviv is here." As part of this miracle of the end-time restoration of Israel, France-born Adam Lugassy had the opportunity to meet the president of the State of Israel on his first day of fourth grade. Lugassy first met Rivlin in the library and told him in French: "Hi Mr. President, I am glad to be here in Israel and to learn Hebrew in ulpan."

Israeli President Reuven Rivlin makes the start of the new year memorable
for school children by visiting a classroom.

Later, before hundreds of students at the assembly, Lugassy read a few words written for him in Hebrew, "My name is Adam.  I came from France to the Land of Israel.  Our Aliyah is part of the process of redemption that will come soon."  The Lugassy family had made Aliyah (immigration to Israel) less than a month ago on August 7, moving to the Peduel settlement in Shomron (Samaria) where they can be free to be Jewish “In France a lot of people do not agree with what Israel is doing.  They link Jews with Israel, so they are not very friendly with us,” said Lugassy’s mother, Yael.  "We knew we did not have a future in France.” The family is among almost 5,000 who made Aliyah from France this year.  About 120 French immigrants have moved to the Samaria region of the West Bank. Because Lugassy had learned Hebrew at his Jewish day school in France, he was chosen to be the ambassador of the dozen new French immigrants in the Shilat elementary school library to speak to the president.

Yael told The Jerusalem Post that their choice of a Samarian settlement was not based on ideology but rather on the community's hospitality and school system. "Everyone here has been so kind and everything is prepared and organized for our children," she said. Rivlin used a translator to speak with the French students, stating his happiness at meeting new immigrants.  Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan added, "The president came here because he loves Samaria and he loves you." During the school assembly, Rivlin described the rich history of Samaria and affirmed that settlements such as Peduel are as much a part of Israel as Tel Aviv. "It [Samaria] connects the Biblical kingdom of Israel with the modern state.  Those who live here know that we will never again lend our hand to the dissolution of Jewish sovereignty," Rivlin said.  "We did not come to Israel because we fled the Holocaust or pogroms; we came and we will continue to settle it out of happiness and joy and the understanding that this is our land." "Every stone and tree tells a story," Rivlin added about Peduel.  "The geography, much like the archeology of Samaria, is like the photographs of a family album.  Those who live here live in the middle of a lesson in history, in Bible, in citizenship and love of the land."

During the assembly attended by several hundred students and many of their parents, the president sang along with several pupils performing the Hebrew song "Jerusalem of Gold" by Naomi Shemer. From his seat in the front row, Rivlin sang into a microphone and, near the song's end, took a verse solo: "Jerusalem of gold and of bronze and of light.  Behold, I am a violin for all your songs." Shemer composed the well-known song while parts of Jerusalem and Judea-Samaria were under the Jordanian siege, between 1949 and 1967.  Jordan occupied and, in a largely unrecognized move, annexed the territory, naming it the Hashemite Kingdom's "West Bank." "Sometimes, people talk of the state of Tel Aviv or the state of Jerusalem, the Jewish state and the state of Israel," Rivlin said before the assembly in the courtyard.  "Those who live here know that there is no such thing as the state of Tel Aviv or the state of Jerusalem.  There is just one country, the state of Israel." On Monday, at the president's residence, Rivlin spoke with a group of elected officials from Jewish settlements, emphasizing his support for residents there and affirming that settling the Land of Israel is the historical right of the Jewish People. "Our right to this land is not a matter of political debate.  It is a basic fact of modern Zionism.  We must not give anyone the sense that we are in any doubt about our right to our land.  For me, the settlement of the land of Israel is an expression of that right, our historical right, our national right, stemming from a love for the land of Israel, [and] from a recognition of our roots, which come together here."

Your pryer support is essential to reach the Jewish People with the message of Forgiveness of Sin through Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus the Messiah) during the coming High Holy Days season.
