L'Shannah Tovah* & Happy 5767,

* L'Shannah Tovah (li-SHAH-nuh TOH-vuh; li-shah-NAH toh-VAH)
Hebrew. Lit. for a good year. The common greeting during Rosh ha Shannah and 
the Days of Awe. This is a shortening of "L'Shannah tovah tikatev v'taihatem" 
(or, to women, "L'Shannah tovah tikatevi v'taihatemi"), which means, "May you 
be inscribed and sealed for a good year." This year, Rosh ha Shannah, because 
it will occur on Shabbat (Sabbath), begins 18 minutes before sunset on Friday, 
September 22 on the civil calendar.
