I decided to write a reflection about Rosh Hashanah today, since today is the end of the second day of the celebration. Also known as the "Feast of Trumpets" (Yom Teruah), Rosh Hashanah literally means "head of the year", and is commonly known as the Jewish New Year celebration. The celebration began Wednesday evening (Sept. 28, 2011) at sundown and lasts until sundown tonight. According to Jewish culture and the Biblical record, a day starts at sundown. This can be seen in the creation story in Genesis 1, "So there was evening, and there was morning..."
