I'm ringing in the New Year with lots of homework. Yeah!

 

[ColoradoBuffaloMom]

I've got a (as my grandmother would say) beautiful chicken in the overn, matzah ball soup on stove, and apples and honey. Now if my 1/2 Jewish, 1/2 Catholic children will eat just some of this, I'll be happy!

Happy New Year!

Did you take today off of work, or do you just need to be somewhere by sun down? A Jewish guy at work was complaining about having to be on a 4:30 pm conference call. I told him to just say he couldn't make it. Don't know why he won't pipe up...he's very senior here...guess he's dedicated, but I think if it were me, I'd be more dedicated to my religious holiday.

I'm not Jewish, but Happy New Year to my friends here who are.

Jewish holidays begin and end at sundown. that's because in Genisis it says "it was evening and it was morning: the first day." the holiday began last night at sundown. it's a two-day holiday, so it ends tomorrow evening. like the Sabbath, no work is to be done on the major holidays.

of course, not everyone observes all the rules. some are very strict in their observance, some not observant at all. I'm somewhere in the middle.

a happy new year to all as well!
