Happy 5764!
We Jews get to throw away our sins today. We have to ask forgiveness of those we’ve wronged. (If they don’t accept our apology after we’ve offered it sincerely three times, it’s on them.) More important, we have to make amends.

Since the Jewish history is very old, we are satisfied with a Good Year, and don’t really expect a Happy Year.
So, let us have a Good Year.

Amen, or to be completely culturally correct, “oo-mayn”, Hanan Cohen. And Shana Tova U’mituka to you and yours, David. May the world know a little more peace in the coming year, than we had in the year we just finished.
What a nice message. Shana Tova to you too.
