Jewish new year 5775 begins now

.

Here's the bakery man slicing and packing three different kinds of honey cake.
They will be gifts for the two different families here in Meitar  who invited me to Rosh Hashana  holiday dinner tonight and tomorrow.
The bakery and the flower shop were popular places this morning. 

Honey means we hope and pray for a sweet new year.

"May you be inscribed and sealed [in God's Book of Life] for a good year."

    This sounds like a fine way to approach the next 365.

  3. Happy New Year!

    My mother occasionally baked honey cakes; I'd imagine they weren't that different from the ones here.
