Happy New Year
On Rosh Hashanah it is written,
On Yom Kippur it is sealed:
How many shall pass on, how many shall come to be;
Who shall live and who shall die;
Who shall see ripe age and who shall not;
Who shall perish by fire and who by water;
Who by sword and who by beast;
Who by hunger and who by thirst;
Who by earthquake and who by plague;
Who by strangling and who by stoning;
Who shall be secure and who shall be driven;
Who shall be tranquil and who shall be troubled;
Who shall be poor and who shall be rich;
Who shall be humbled and who shall be exalted.
But Repentance, Prayer and Charity
Temper judgment’s severe decree.
From all of us to all of you, a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. May your names be inscribed in the book of life for another year.

Psalms 139:16
Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in Your book were all written The days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was not one of them.
Happy New Year.

October 3-October 4, 2014 - Yom Kippur will begin at sundown on October 3rd and end at nightfall on October 4th.
The Day of Atonement is considered the most important and sacred of Jewish religious holidays. It falls on the tenth day of the Jewish lunar month of Tishri.
Other Facts:
The dates in the Jewish calendar known as the "10 days of repentance" begin with Rosh Hashanah (New Years Day) and end with Yom Kippur.
On Yom Kippur, devout Jews atone for their sins from the past year. They ask for forgiveness from God and from other people.
It is a day of fasting, repentance and worship. On this day no work is permitted, one is not allowed to bathe, wear leather footwear or have marital relations.
Yom Kippur is found in the Bible in Leviticus 16:1-34; 18:1-30 and in Numbers 29: 7-11.
The services during Yom Kippur are held continuously through the day and include readings from the Torah and the reciting of penitential prayers.
Yom Kippur services conclude with closing prayers and the blowing of the shofar-a ritual musical instrument carved from the horn of a ram.
