Happy New Year! Nope, it's not January 1st, but starting tonight is the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah. That's right, we are officially about to enter year 5767. The holiday is probably one of the most well known of those in the Jewish calendar, but if anyone wants to learn much more about it, fellow blogger MadZionist has posted an excellent summation on his website.
In other news, some of it related:
Ed Lasky of the American Thinker discusses why the Democratic Party is longer a welcome home for American Jews. This is a very important article that all Americans, no matter political affiliation, should find relevant. It's not just about Democratic vs. Republican support for Israel; the piece delves greatly into leftist goals, potential Congressional committee directions, and anti-Semitism. Read this brief correction from a section of it, too.
The Jerusalem Post's Caroline Glick, meanwhile, analyzes the Pope's recent comments about Islam and discusses its implications for the Jewish people as well. On the eve of Rosh Hashanah, this is a highly inspirational piece.
Want to understand the root of the Arab-Israeli conflict in twenty lines or less? Here it is.
And finally, yet another Rosh Hashanah primer, this one straight from Israel itself. As the word goes in Hebrew, Shana Tova!
