Good Yom Tov
Sort of redundant but this means good good day and it is a greeting Jews deliver to each other around this time of year – the high holidays – this Friday night is the eve of Rosh Hashanah, which is the Jewish Near Year and literally means when we begin anew. Well, I’m ready for some newness that is for sure. And so the year 5770 begins this weekend and is followed ten days later by Yom Kippur – a day of fasting and forgiving.
This is also a special time to reflect on the year that has passed and to reinvigorate for the year that is beginning.
The best way to do this is with honey cakes! And we are getting ours at Brocato’s – the oldest Italian bakery in the city.
