♪♫•*♥*•♫♪.. Rosh HaShanna Fish Special.. ♪♫•*♥*•♫♪
A few words to explain to my wonderful and dear Flickr Friends, why I labelled this photo of the beautiful koi a Rosh HaShanna Fish Special!
Wednesday night marks the beginning of Rosh HaShannah, or Rosh Hashanna, marks The Jewish New Year. In Hebrew, "rosh" means head and "ha shanna" means the year. as commanded, we assemble to give praise and to ask haShem for forgiveness as we pledge our repentance for transgressions and omissions against people and the holy one. We vow to return and start anew.
Part of the service, based on legend, is taking breadcrumbs to bodies of living fresh or salt water with fish. There we pray for forgiveness to HaShem, and throw breadcrumbs into the water. In the lake at Fort Lowell Park, where I take pictures of ducks and Great American Egrets, the fish never get the breadcrumbs;)) In the koi pond they might.
That's why Sylvia wrote: "With these photos of fish, water ....... how not to see a good omen, Blessed Be The Name (of The Lord)" I would like to send, C.B., to you and all yours a Shana Tova, Ou, Gamar Hatima Tova."
Which is Hebrew shorthand for "A Good New Year, and, May You Be Well Sealed In The Book of Life."
Summer's end, and the beginning of the harvest season, and the restart of school activities is the perfect time for the Real New Year, not the pagan winter solstace when it's already been cold and bleak for months.
