Rosh Hashanah 2024 / 5785

by Shoshana Flax
Oct 02, 2024 | Filed in Blogs

Rosh Hashanah begins tonight!

Wishing you a year when you can go where you want to go,

be who you want to be,

find what you’re looking for,

express what you need to,

change for the better,

find hope where there’s darkness,

see things from new perspectives,

and celebrate as much as you can.

Shana tovah from the Horn Book!
