StoneMtn Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Dima:I received an email today regarding a Rosh Hashanah potluck dinner in Whistler. One of the people claims to be bringing "beagles" for dinner.(As a dog-lover, I really hope that was a spelling error.)Chag Sameach and Shanah Tovah.

AdamH Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 I'm such a terrible Jew that the goyim in my office remind me when the holidays are. Oh, and I ate a huge pork chop for dinner the other night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoodRev Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Just about to leave Hamilton to enjoy a fine holiday meal with the ganseh mishpocha, before heading off to shul tomorrow where I've been comissioned to sound the Shofar at one of the smaller downstairs services. A freilecheh chag to all the Yiddin, and remember, b'Rosh Hashanah yicateivun, u'b'Yom Tzom Kippur yechatemun.p.s. gesindteh heip.p.s. I find the most common pronounciation to be "bah-gel", which also annoys me to some degree, but not as much as the fact that it is strictly Jewish guilt that is making me leave Hamilton in the middle of a busy week to partake in some ol-time religion. Feh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Compression Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 My Jewish mother and agnostic/existential father are in Nepal this fall. My mom sent an email saying that she has a feeling that Rosh Hashanah is happening some time soon and is wishing us a happy new year. I think her guilt is there but it is well diluted with the prevailing Buddhism in Katmandu. We have never been a real Shul going family, but we all know how to pronounce Bagel allong with all the other important Yiddish words and phrazes encountered in secular western society. Have a sweet New Year to all. I continue to hope for Peace, Safety, Equality and Unity for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phunkyb Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Shana Tova to everyone. Hope your new year is sweet. For those who have been searching for a greater understanding of Jewish holidays major and minor, I think you will find the explanation below most enlightening... Jewish Holidays As a general principle, Jewish holidays are divided between days on which you must starve and days on which you must overeat. Many Jews observe no fewer than 16 fasts throughout the Jewish year, based on the time-honored principle that even if you are sure that you are ritually purified, you definitely aren't. Though there are many feasts and fasts, there are no holidays requiring light snacking. Note: Unlike Christians, who simply attend church on special days (eg. Easter, Christmas, etc.), on Jewish holidays most Jews take the whole da= y off. This is because Jews, for historical and personal reasons, are more stressed out. The Diet Guide to the Jewish Holidays: Rosh Hashanah -- Feast Tzom Gedalia -- Fast Yom Kippur -- More fasting Sukkot -- Feast Hashanah Rabbah -- More feasting Simchat Torah -- Keep feasting Month of Heshvan -- No feasts or fasts for a whole month. Get a grip on yourself. Hanukkah -- Eat potato pancakes Tenth of Tevet -- Do not eat potato pancakes Tu B'Shevat -- Feast Fast of Esther -- Fast Purim -- Eat pastry Passover -- Do not eat pastry Shavuot -- Dairy feast (cheesecake, blintzes etc.) 17th of Tammuz -- Fast (definitely no cheesecake or blintzes) Tish B'Av -- Very strict fast (don't even think about cheesecake or blintzes) Month of Elul -- End of cycle. Enroll in Center for Eating Disorders before High Holidays arrive again You know you grew up Jewish when: You've had at least one female relative who drew eyebrows on her face that were always asymmetrical. You spent your entire childhood thinking that everyone calls roast beef "brisket". You've experienced the phenomena of 50 people fitting into a 10 foot wide dining room hitting each other with plastic plates trying to get to a deli tray. You were as tall as your grandmother by the age of seven. You were surprised to find out that wine doesn't always taste like year-old cranberry sauce. You can look at gefilte fish and not turn green. You can understand Yiddish but you can't speak it. You know how to pronounce numerous Yiddish words and use them correctly in context, yet you don't exactly know what they mean. Kenahurra. You have at least one ancestor who is related to your spouse's ancestor. You grew up thinking it's normal for someone to shout "Are you okay? Are you okay?" through the bathroom door if you're in there for longer than 3 minutes. You thought that speaking loud was normal.

StoneMtn Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Question: Is New Years Day January 1st on some sort of Jewish calendar? It's on the 1st of Tishrei. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodRev Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 It's on the 1st of Tishrei. Ah, but does the Rashi not teach us that the first Jewish month may, in fact, have originally been Nisan? And don't even get me started on the Rambam...

StoneMtn Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 It's not really a controversy. Rosh Hashanah is the 1st day of Tishrei, beginning the year 5766.What TheGoodRev is suggesting is much more academic. Tishrei is the first month of the Jewish Calendar. The only question is whether that was always the case or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blane Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 So that explains the hassids chanting all morning long out my back window. Crazy shit man! They really get into it. There must have been at least 50 of them singing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve from Cleveland Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 About the bagel thing...I've always said "bay-gull," as have all my Jewish relatives.I don't think I've ever even HEARD anyone call it a "bah-gull." Every pronunciation key has the long a "bay-gull" pronunciation. However the gull is phonetically spelled gel, withe the e being a schwa. However, I do not have a phonetic keyboard, nor can I find the proper ASCII codes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
