Tonight begins the start of our Jewish New Year, the High Holy Days, the Days of Awe. For us non observant Jews it still remains a time to stand back and reflect about your own ethical life, pay honor to your lost ones and to bring in the New Year with challah (braided bread) and honey. Instead of matzoh ball soup and chicken, Abe and Liz will get chicken with herbs and roasted vegetables, and salmon in caribbean bar-b-cue sauce.
Not many Austinites know about our New Year. It's 5772 on our calendar. We wish you a happy and healthy new year with a lot of nachas (joy) from your children.
I am fortunate to once again celebrate a new year in my new found homeland.
